1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study addresses historical uncertainties regarding morphological variation in the paraprocts of Tupiperla illiesi, a stonefly with a complex taxonomic history. We tested whether these variations represent phenotypic plasticity or distinct species using integrative taxonomy. Adult gripopterygids were collected from Estação Biológica de Boracéia utilizing Malaise and light traps. The morphology of the specimens was analyzed in accordance with existing literature, and selected individuals underwent DNA extraction, amplification, and sequencing of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) barcode region. Molecular distances were estimated using the Kimura 2-parameter model, and clustering was determined using Neighbor-Joining and Bayesian methods. Species delimitation was further refined using the SPdel pipeline. The combined analysis of COI sequence and morphological differences in the paraprocts led to the identification of distinct morphotypes within T. illiesi, resulting in the description of a new species, Tupiperla tucum sp. nov.
