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

Taxonomic studies of Microgastrinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) are seldom conducted on material from Borneo, despite its being widely recognized as one of the world's biodiversity hotspots. As part of our preliminary studies on the braconids from this island in the Natural History Museum (UK) collection, we describe and illustrate four new species of Diolcogaster Ashmead: D. dolichogaster Liu & Polaszek, sp. nov., D. flavicoxa Liu & Polaszek, sp. nov., D. hamus Liu & Polaszek, sp. nov., and D. parallela Liu & Polaszek, sp. nov. Two previously described species, D. eclectes (Nixon) and D. urios (Nixon), are redescribed and illustrated. The species examined in this study are classified into two distinct groups, the basimacula-group (D. dolichogaster, D. eclectes, and D. hamus) and the xanthaspis-group (D. flavicoxa, D. parallela and D. urios). Additionally, we provide an identification key to the six Diolcogaster species from Borneo, with a distribution map. A concise discussion of the Diolcogaster species-groups is provided.
