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: A genetic analysis was conducted to identify and classify sharks from the families Squalidae and Squatinidae at the Eastern Libyan coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Aim: This study was based on COI gene barcoding, and the sequences obtained were matched with global reference databases to ascertain their taxonomic identity and genetic diversity ratio. Methods: The sequences were then deposited in the GenBank database through the BankIt submission system, where the following accession numbers were assigned: Results: Conclusion: Collectively, these findings contribute significantly to the ichthyofaunal diversity of Libya and the Mediterranean Sea in general, and they further demonstrate the power of DNA barcoding as a means of recording and preserving shark diversity.
