Barcoding Megadiversity: An Arthropod Database from Sites in the Neotropical Eastern Pacific Bioregion.
Article in Scientific data, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 present the first dataset collection of arthropod diversity from ten terrestrial sites in the Neotropical Eastern Pacific Bioregion, in the territories of Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, and the Galapagos and Cocos Islands. The twenty-five datasets comprise 1-7 years of sampling. Together, we document a total of 952,087 arthropod specimens and 45,812 BINs. The datasets are distributed in 1 phylum, 7 classes, 39 orders, 556 families, and 2,318 genera. In the first year of sampling, the datasets revealed unprecedented arthropod diversity; notably, at Mashpi in Ecuador (n = 7,848 BINs) and Guanacaste in Costa Rica (n = 7,790 BINs), both exhibited the highest number of unique BINs. Arthropod abundance was greatest at Quetzales (n = 130,193 records) and Baru (n = 111,044 records) in Costa Rica. The five most abundant orders were Diptera (n = 20,901 BINs), Hymenoptera (n = 8,964 BINs), Coleoptera (n = 4,272 BINs), Lepidoptera (n = 3,634 BINs), and Hemiptera (n = 2,166 BINs). The dataset collection provides a robust baseline for future arthropod biodiversity research.
