Cryptic diversity and recent diversification in the Pyrrhulina australis species complex (Characiformes, Lebiasinidae) revealed by mitochondrial DNA.
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
Pyrrhulina australis Eigenmann & Kennedy, 1903, is widely distributed across the main hydrographic basins of South America. The taxonomic integrity of this species is nevertheless challenged by the lack of clear diagnostic characters, its marked geographic variation and the morphological overlap with its congeners. In this context, the present study investigated the genetic diversity of the P. australis group (P. australis, Pyrrhulina marilynae and Pyrrhulina vittata), using sequences of the mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase I gene to delimit evolutionary lineages and provide insights into biogeographic patterns and divergence times. The molecular delimitation analyses (Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery [ABGD], Assemble Species by Automatic Partitioning [ASAP], Bayesian Poisson Tree Processes (bPTP), multi-rate Poisson Tree Processes [mPTP], General Mixed Yule Coalescent [GMYC] and Poisson Tree Processes [PTP]) revealed 12 consensual MOTUs, which represent a complex of cryptic species revealed under the nominal name P. australis, with widely distributed lineages. Divergence time estimates indicate a recent evolutionary history for the group, occurring between the late Pliocene and the Pleistocene. The results reveal a surprising level of diversity within P. australis and provide unprecedented discussions on the biogeographic patterns of the group.
