German Barcode of Life reveals unexpected diversity of Ceraphronoidea (Hymenoptera).
Article in Biodiversity data journal, 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
Insect populations still experience marked declines globally, contributing to the ongoing biodiversity crisis. Counteracting these declines requires sound taxonomic and ecological knowledge on all levels of biodiversity, from genes to species to ecosystems. The superfamily Ceraphronoidea (Hymenoptera) has remained relatively obscure due to complex challenges in exploring its diversity and ecological roles. Despite their ecological importance as parasitoids or hyperparasitoids, these wasps are under-represented in scientific exploration and conservation. In a case study within the German Barcode of Life (GBOL) Dark Taxa project, we aim to bridge this knowledge gap through a comprehensive taxonomic investigation covering 2,136 specimens of Ceraphronoidea across 18 locations in the putatively well-studied State of Baden-Württemberg (south-western Germany). Our study identifies a surprising species richness of at least 193 conjectural species, based on COI-barcoding clusters, extrapolates key species richness estimators for the German ceraphronoid fauna and records a species new to the German fauna:
