A new record of triggerfish (Tetraodontiformes: Balistidae) from China with a complete mitogenome.
Article in Journal of fish biology, 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
We report the first confirmed record of the largescale triggerfish, Canthidermis macrolepis (Boulenger, 1888), from the South China Sea, based on a specimen collected near Wenchang, Hainan, China. Sequencing of the complete mitochondrial genome (16,527 bp) revealed typical vertebrate mitogenome organisation, comprising 37 genes and a control region. The genome displayed A + T bias (55.1%) and strong purifying selection across all protein-coding genes. Phylogenetic analyses with both cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and whole mitogenome datasets confirmed the monophyly of Canthidermis and its sister relationship with Canthidermis maculata, consistent with previous morphological and molecular studies. However, the COI gene, while distinguishing most balistid genera, failed to separate Balistoides viridescens and Pseudobalistes flavimarginatus-suggesting recent divergence or taxonomic complexity-highlighting the need for integrative taxonomic approaches. This study provides a valuable mitochondrial genomic resource and clarifies the phylogenetic position of C. macrolepis, enhancing the understanding of triggerfish diversity and evolution in the Indo-West Pacific.
