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 Sphingidae family of moths plays a vital role as pollinators; however, research focusing on certain genera within the family remains limited. This study adopted an integrative approach, drawing on literature, the SiBBr, GBIF, and SpeciesLink databases, and field collections to examine the distribution of Eumorpha Hübner, 1807 species across Brazil. A total of thirteen species is known to occur in the country, yet substantial knowledge gaps remain regarding their actual distribution. We compiled 623 occurrence records representing 14 species. Most species and occurrence records were concentrated in the Atlantic Forest and Amazon biomes. The results indicate that research directly focused on Eumorpha remains scarce and that, despite advances in the digitization of national collections, the number of related publications has not increased. This study provided important insights into the distribution of Eumorpha, showing that some species, such as Eumorpha vitis (Linnaeus) and Eumorpha fasciatus (Sulzer), have a wide distribution, while others, like Eumorpha translineatus (Rothschild), appear more restricted. In addition to contributing to the understanding of Eumorpha distribution in Brazil, the study also highlights the relevance of combining multiple data sources to address existing knowledge gaps.
