A DNA barcode reference library of native seed plants in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Article in Scientific data, 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 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) is a critical region in the Pearl River Delta along the South China coast and has a remarkably diverse seed plant species. However, factors such as rapid urbanization and climate change are increasingly impacting the resilience of the Greater Bay Area's ecosystems. While morphology identification has many drawbacks such as slow process, incorrect identifications, and unreliable for distinguishing species at the growth stage; DNA barcoding has become a valuable tool in plant taxonomy by effectively overcoming many limitations of traditional methods. In this study, we constructed a comprehensive DNA barcoding database for native seed plants in the GBA using three barcodes (matK, rbcL, and ITS2). A total of 2864 native species from 1117 genera and 192 families were represented, of which 695 individuals from 516 species that were newly generated. This study enhances sustainable management and accurate identification of species, facilitates research on plant evolution and ecology, and supporting biodiversity monitoring and conservation efforts within the Greater Bay Area.
