New distributional record of Stephanolepis diaspros (Teleostei: Monacanthidae) in the eastern Indian Ocean.
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
A specimen of the reticulated leatherjacket, Stephanolepis diaspros Fraser-Brunner, 1940, primarily distributed in the Red Sea and Mediterranean Sea, was recorded for the first time from the southeast coast of Bangladesh. This represents the first confirmed occurrence of the species in the eastern Indian Ocean. Species identification was verified through an integrative taxonomic approach combining morphological examination, radiographic imaging and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COX1) gene sequencing. Distinctive scale patterns were observed on different parts of the body; notably, the presence of cycloid scales associated with bristles was documented as a novel diagnostic feature. Both morphometric and genetic analyses demonstrated a high similarity to previously described S. diaspros specimens, with minimal intraspecific genetic divergence (0.16%-0.33%) relative to Mediterranean populations. This new distribution record extends the known biogeographical range of S. diaspros, suggesting potential ecological plasticity and long-distance dispersal in response to environmental changes.
