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

A new cyprinid gudgeon, Saurogobio rarus sp. nov., is described here based on morphological and molecular data. Morphologically, the new species resembles its congener S. dabryi the most, but with distinct differences. S. rarus sp. nov. has the naked area on chest restricted to or a little over the pectoral-fin base, as opposed to extending much over the pectoral base or extending to posterior portion of the pectoral fin rays in S. dabryi. Besides, S. rarus sp. nov. has a relatively shorter snout, shorter and deeper caudal peduncle and a shorter distance between the anus and the pelvic-fin base, compared with S. dabryi. The new species can be distinguished from other congeners by having eight branched dorsal-fin rays, thick lips with numerous globular papillae and the absence of fin spots. Phylogenetically, based on cytb sequence analyses, S. rarus sp. nov. is clearly separated from all congeners, with a mean genetic distance from 0.022 to S. dabryi, exceeding the mean intraspecific distance of 0.012 observed within S. dabryi. At present, this new species has been found only in Central (Poyang Lake) and Northeastern China (Ussuri River and Songhua River). Based on our recent surveys, its abundance is becoming lower and lower, and calls for urgent conservation.
