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

The small killifish Aphanius almiriensis (Kottelat, Barbieri & Stoumboudi, 2007) inhabits from brackish springs to estuaries and coastal lagoons in the eastern Mediterranean basin. This study focused on the detailed characterization of Aphanius almiriensis from a hypersaline geothermal spring (Tuzla, Çanakkale, NW Anatolia), where extreme salinity (61.14 ppt in winter, January 2023) and temperature (42.7°C in summer, July 2023) conditions were observed. The obtained specimens of killifish in the sampling site, with a slightly convex dorsal head profile and a more angular ventral head profile, are similar in this respect to specimens from Greece. In most individuals (25 out of 27), the two frontal scales do not contact each other. Genetic analyses indicate that the species exhibits a minimum p-distance of 3.1% from Aphanius fasciatus in the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) region. Although previously reported, this population had not been thoroughly characterized up to date; however, based on the present study, it exhibits genetic and morphological characteristics consistent with A. almiriensis specimens from Greece.
