A comprehensive dataset of published records of Leptodirini (Coleoptera, Leiodidae) from the North-western Balkans.
Article in Biodiversity data journal, 2026. 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
Background: In Europe, the beetle tribe Leptodirini (Coleoptera, Leiodidae) reaches its highest diversity in southern parts of the continent, where this predominantly subterranean group developed into one of the largest subterranean radiations in the World. Within this belt, encompassing Iberian Peninsula, Italian Preapls and Balkan Peninsula, the highest species diversity is reached in the North-western Balkan's Dinaric Karst. Ever since the scientific description of the first subterranean beetle species, New information: We present the first comprehensive dataset of published records of the tribe Leptodirini in the North-western Balkans, covering primarily the Dinaric Karst and adjacent areas of the Southern Calcareous Alps and the Albanides. The dataset includes 5,535 records compiled from 333 literature sources representing 334 species with 176 subspecies. All records were georeferenced with the highest possible spatial precision. Using published data, we provide checklists of species and subspecies for included countries, a consolidated bibliography of all publications containing Leptodirini records, spatial maps highlighting the areas of highest taxa richness and an overview of the number of records, sites and range sizes for each species and subspecies across the study area. This dataset provides a foundation for future research and sampling campaigns in the region, as well as a spatially-explicit resource for investigating the diversity and distribution of Leptodirini in Europe's largest karst area.
