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: The Ogasawara Islands are remote oceanic islands located approximately 1,000 km south of mainland Japan and investigations of their fauna are essential for understanding the processes underlying the assembly of oceanic island biotas. Despite this importance, knowledge of several terrestrial invertebrate groups remains remarkably limited, including millipedes, which constitute a major component of soil macrofauna. Previous studies on the millipede fauna of the Ogasawara Islands have been sporadic and, to date, only ten identified species had been recorded from the archipelago. New information: Field surveys conducted between 2023 and 2026 on Ototo-jima, Ani-jima, Chichi-jima and Haha-jima Islands revealed five species of polydesmid millipedes:
