Molecular identification based on mtDNA analysis of commercial crustaceans in the coastal Amazon: exotic species, cryptic diversity, and implications for sustainable fisheries in northern Brazil.

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
Background: Located around the Caeté River estuary, the municipality of Bragança is one of the primary fishing hubs in the region. Several high-value crustacean species are intensively harvested in this area and are commonly sold at open-air markets. However, fishery products are often labeled with generic trade names, which hinders accurate species identification and conceals the true diversity of the exploited species. Methods: Therefore, we conducted the molecular identification of crustacean species sold in Bragança. Samples were collected during two periods: from February to August 2017, and from September 2021 to May 2022. A total of 137 samples were analyzed, including 120 obtained from markets and 17 collected from the wild. Specimens were first identified morphologically, and two regions of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene were amplified for molecular identification. Genetic analyses included haplotype determination, Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) comparisons, phylogenetic tree construction, and species delimitation approaches. Results: We obtained a dataset comprising 16 commercial names and 151 DNA sequences, including 38 sequences from region I (the barcode region) and 113 sequences from region II of the COI gene. A total of 15 crustacean species, belonging to seven genera and five families, were identified. Six of these species were classified as exotic, and three were recently described in the scientific literature. Additionally, we documented the occurrence of two distinct lineages of
