Advancing Seabird Diet Studies Through Buccal Swabbing for DNA Metabarcoding.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 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
Seabirds are often considered sentinels of ocean health, making dietary studies crucial not only for understanding their ecology and marine trophic webs, but also for informing conservation efforts and detecting ecosystem changes that may threaten biodiversity. However, determining the diet of wide-ranging, pelagic species is challenging, and there is a series of limitations associated with current techniques. In this study, we investigated buccal swabbing and DNA metabarcoding as a combined method to determine the diet of Manx shearwaters (
