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

We establish a new deep-sea tanaidacean family, Arthruridae n. fam., separated from the family Tanaellidae Larsen and Wilson, 2002, and based on a morphology-based phylogenetic analysis. This new taxon is supported by molecular evidence from a recent study of the newly described Caudalongidae Błażewicz & Bird 2024. Arthrurids resemble tanaellids such as Tanaella Norman & Stebbing, 1886 with their robust bodies, or Arhaphuroides Sieg, 1986 with their fused projecting uropod exopod, but also exhibit some agathotanaid-like features. These include the pereonite shape, pleon-pleotelson configuration, and pereopod morphology that are absent in the more diverse Tanaellidae, but arthrurids have a more plesiomorphic cheliped-cephalothorax articulation compared to those in the Agathotanaidae Lang, 1971. A large epignath seta, large coxal sclerite on the cephalothorax, and sticklike pereopods are among characters distinguishing the Arthruridae from most tanaellids. Two new genera are established, Arthruropsis n. gen. and Paralibanius n. gen., with the former tanaellid Arhaphuroides bombus Larsen, 2005, transferred to Arthruropsis n. gen. Six new species from bathyal New Zealand waters are described, Libanius concertator n. sp., L. intonsus n. sp., L. largitas n. sp., L. projectus n. sp., L. tangaroa n. sp., and Paralibanius taitonga n. sp., along with three from the southeastern Australia slope, Libanius australis n. sp., L. brevicarpus n. sp., and L. clisicola n. sp. We provide a key to the 13 known arthrurid species.
