Morphology, molecular phylogeny and record verification of Sarcophaga ruficornis Fabricius (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) from Egypt.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
In forensic entomology, accurate species identification is essential for calculating the exact minimum postmortem interval (minPMI), as insect developmental rates are highly species-specific. Sarcophaga (Liopygia) ruficornis (Fabricius, 1794) is a species of medical and forensic significance. Recently, it was recorded from Egypt for the first time. The current study aimed to conclusively identify S. ruficornis in Egypt through DNA barcoding and morphological examination of both adult males and females, for the first time, to our knowledge. A segment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit one gene (COI) of S. ruficornis was amplified, and a sequence length of 817 bp was obtained and submitted to GenBank. The genitalia of both sexes and the diagnostic morphological characters of the species were examined and illustrated. In addition, the phylogenetic relationship of the Egyptian population of S. ruficornis was investigated. This study demonstrates the utility of DNA barcoding for investigating the genetic composition and variation of S. ruficornis populations and provides essential data for the identification of S. ruficornis in Egypt, which makes it possible to identify a specimen correctly even when only limited morphological evidence is available.
