Application of Invertebrate-Derived DNA Barcoding (iDNA) in Blood Sucking Leeches From West Sumatra: A Discovery of Blue-Eyed Litter Frog
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Indonesia is one of the world's most biodiversity-rich countries, including a wide variety of vertebrate and plant species. However, assessing biodiversity in tropical rainforests remains challenging itself. The use of conventional tools has commonly been employed for monitoring and research purposes. Invertebrate-derived DNA (iDNA), a subdiscipline of environmental DNA (eDNA), has emerged as a noninvasive tool that complements traditional methods for biodiversity assessment. It enables the detection of vertebrate species and the monitoring of their populations through molecular approaches. Utilizing abundant haematophagous leeches provides a promising approach to sample a broader range of host species within an area, as these leeches retain high-quality host DNA in their guts for extended periods. Using Sanger sequencing with five primer sets (16Scp, 16Sed, 12S, ND2, and RepCOI) designed to target broad taxonomic groups, 272
