Curated mitochondrial genome reference database of state key protected wild mammal in China.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Effective conservation of wild mammals necessitates accurate taxonomic classification and reliable genetic reference data. In China, the List of State Key Protected Wild Animals serves as a critical tool for species protection. However, taxonomic revisions and gaps in genetic data can impede its effectiveness. In this study, we updated the List of State Key Protected Wild Animals (2021) by incorporating recent taxonomic and distributional evidence, resulting in a refined list of 169 mammalian species that are protected. We identified 15 taxa lacking complete mitochondrial genome data and addressed this gap by generating 12 new mitogenomes for nine taxa using a combination of GenBank database mining and next-generation sequencing of museum specimens and fecal samples. These efforts led to the establishment of a curated mitochondrial genome reference database encompassing 164 species. Our analyses also uncovered taxonomic ambiguities in genera such as Moschus and Naemorhedus, and highlighted mislabeling issues within public genetic databases. This curated database enhances the accuracy of forensic species identification, supports biodiversity monitoring, and strengthens wildlife law enforcement. Our findings underscore the value of integrating historical specimens with mitogenomic approaches to advance wildlife conservation efforts.
