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

Background: DNA barcoding studies utilising COI gene sequences have been widely applied in insect taxonomy for two decades and remain so. Barcode reference libraries are a valuable molecular resource for future biodiversity assessments, including standard barcoding surveys and environmental DNA (eDNA) approaches. Grasshoppers, members of the suborder Caelifera of the insect order Orthoptera, on the Comoros Islands have not yet been subject of barcoding studies, marking a clear gap in a poorly-studied region of high biodiversity and endemism. Our results illustrate both the potential and the constraints of CO1 barcodes in caeliferan systematics and highlight the importance of expanding molecular reference libraries in understudied biodiversity hotspots. New information: We provide a first barcode reference library, including COI sequences from 22 Caelifera specimens representing 12 genera and 15 species. Nine out of 12 genera can be reliably identified using DNA barcodes. However, closely-related taxa, such as
