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

The phylum Annelida encompasses a diverse group of animals, with bioluminescent species documented in 14 families. Despite this diversity and the scattered distribution of bioluminescent lineages, little is known about the molecular biology, chemistry, morphology, ecology, and evolution of bioluminescence in annelids. During a deep-sea exploration off Minamidaito Island in the western Pacific Ocean, we discovered that Aricidea sp. emits green light when stimulated. The specimens were identified with the limited key morphology as a species in the genus Aricidea. A molecular phylogenetic analysis suggests that the specimen belongs to the Aricidea/Paraonis clade but was not nested in the described species, of which sequences were publicly available. This study is the first to report bioluminescence within the family Paraonidae.
