1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Genetic diversity of neutral markers (15 microsatellite loci) was assessed for the first time in two landlocked seal species, the Baikal seal Pusa sibirica and Caspian seal P. caspica, and compared with that in the oceanic species ringed seal P. hispida of the same genus. Lower genetic diversity was observed in both of the landlocked seal species, the Baikal seal having the lowest level. A high probability of a historical bottleneck effect was shown for both Baikal and Caspian seals, while signs of a sharp decline in the past were not observed in the ringed seal population. A data analysis with the VarEff package suggested different times to the most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) for each of the three populations. The time established for the Baikal seal was significantly shorter than that of the Caspian seal.
