Complete mitochondrial genomes of Pipistrellus pipistrellus and Pipistrellus nathusii, along with the resolution of the taxonomic positions of Pipistrellus and Nyctalus.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Vespertilionidae is the bat family with the highest number of species and has been studied for years using various methods such as morphology, mitochondrial, and nuclear DNA. However, the taxonomy and systematics of several groups within this family remain controversial, and many relationships are still unresolved. In this study, complete mitochondrial data (15.797-16.719 base pairs) of Pipistrellus pipistrellus and Pipistrellus nathusii were presented with the gene characteristics, and it was also aimed to reveal the phylogenetic relationship between Pipistrellus and Nyctalus. In this context, Eastern Pipistrellus species (P. coromandra, P. abramus, together with Glischropus bucephalus) were located distantly from Western Pipistrellus (P. pipistrellus, P. pygmaeus, P. kuhlii, and P. nathusii) and Nyctalus (N. noctula, N. aviator, and N. plancyi) species, with the mean genetic distance (d) values of 15.9-17.0% between these three lineages. On the other hand, P. nathusii showed a closer relationship with Nyctalus than with Pipistrellus. The genetic distances indicate that Nyctalus, Western Pipistrellus, and the Eastern Pipistrellus lineage (e.g., Alionoctula) may represent three distinct genus-level lineages suggesting that the genus Pipistrellus in its current definition may be paraphyletic. Moreover, the d value of 0.03% between N. noctula and N. plancyi supports the subspecies status of N. plancyi.
