Development of 30 microsatellite markers for genetic analysis of Atrina vexillum.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundAtrina vexillum (Born, 1778) is a bivalve mollusk indigenous to the Indo-Pacific coastal regions. Despite being a species of high ecological and economic value, it remains largely understudied and estimates of population genetic diversity and structure are urgently needed. Microsatellite markers are useful for assessing population genetic structure due to their high polymorphism. This study aimed to develop 30 novel, highly polymorphic, microsatellite markers for A. vexillum. METHODS AND
resultsA total of 30 markers were optimized for reliable amplification. They were tested by multiplex PCR in 92 individuals sampled in Bora-Bora and Raiatea islands (French Polynesia). The number of alleles per polymorphic locus (n = 29/30) ranged from 3 to 18. Null alleles were suspected for 6 of the markers. The F
conclusionThese 30 microsatellite markers demonstrate high polymorphism and will be key in assessing the genetic diversity and structure of A. vexillum populations in French Polynesia. They are a step towards analyzing parentage and further understanding the population dynamics and establishing effective conservation measures for a species that is declining without clearly identified causes.
