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: Cleptoparasitic bees represent a poorly studied yet ecologically important component of wild bee communities, responding sensitively to environmental heterogeneity and reflecting local wild bee diversity. Despite representing approximately 13% of bee species globally, significant knowledge gaps remain regarding their species distribution, taxonomy, and conservation status, particularly within the Mediterranean region, which is recognized as a global hotspot for bee diversity. New information: This work provides a faunistic survey of cleptoparasitic bees collected in rural protected areas within the province of Rome (Latium, central Italy), employing an integrative taxonomic approach combining morphological identification and DNA barcoding (COI-5P gene). A total of 417 individuals belonging to 44 species from 10 genera and three families were collected. Five species are newly recorded for Latium. A total of 98 COI-5P sequences were generated and deposited in BOLD and GenBank, including the first COI-5P record for
