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 snakefish Trachinocephalus myops is an Atlantic species distributed in tropical and temperate coastal waters on sandy substrates. This study reports the validated record of an adult T. myops in the Azores archipelago caught by a fisherman at Faial Island. Meristic, morphometric characters and molecular analyses supported species identity. The possibilities of recurrent misidentification or recent colonization of the species in the region and its biogeographic affinities are discussed. T. myops is hereby included as a native species in the Azores.
