Phylogeny, phylogeography, and conservation of a rediscovered gecko from the Galápagos Islands.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The rediscovery of species in iconic conservation sites like the Galápagos is eye-catching and can lead to quick and effective conservation actions. With 11 species occurring on most islands, Galápagos leaf-toed geckos (Phyllodactylus) are among the least known terrestrial vertebrates of the archipelago. Strikingly, reliable records of Phyllodactylus from Rábida Island prior to this study are limited to Holocene subfossils and a single photograph from 2012. Here we report the first vouchered specimens of Phyllodactylus from Rábida and present their phylogenetic and phylogeographic affinities with other gecko populations in the archipelago. Despite taxonomic uncertainty, we recognize Rábida gecko populations as a separate ESU within P. maresi, which also occurs in nearby islands (Santiago, Bartolomé, Mares), as well as in Marchena. Finally, we suggest that Rábida gecko populations benefited from the eradication of invasive rodents, which facilitated their rediscovery and the collection efforts reported here.
