The taxonomic status of Farlowella colombiensis Retzer & Page 1997 with comments on species of the F. acus species group (Loricariidae: Loricariinae).
Article in Journal of fish biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 genus Farlowella has been historically challenging, in part due to the difficulty in defining diagnostic characters for defining and identifying the species. Farlowella colombiensis is one such example, whose diagnostic characters are based on caudal-fin colour pattern, ventral pattern of body cover and anatomical details of the head, such as the arrangement of odontodes and the presence/absence of dorsomedian ridge. We herein reassess the taxonomic status of this species against congeners of the F. acus species group (F. acus, F. martini, F. mitoupibo, F. venezuelensis and F. vittata). We found no significant differences between F. colombiensis and F. acus in morphometric, meristic and colouration pattern, therefore rendering Farlowella colombiensis a junior synonym of Farlowella acus. We provide remarks on different species of the F. acus group in Colombia, as well as a description of sexual dimorphism in the genital papilla for the first time in the subfamily. We also provide a key to the species of the F. acus species group in Colombia.
