BOLDconnectR: An R package for streamlined retrieval, transformation, and analysis of DNA barcode data on BOLD.
Article in PloS one, 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
DNA barcode data are essential infrastructure for biodiversity science as they enable scalable species identification and integrative analyses that link sequences to specimens, taxonomy, and geography. The Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD) is a centralized bioinformatics workbench that supports the full barcode data lifecycle: including acquisition, storage, validation, analysis, and dataset publication within a secure collaboration model. While BOLD's web interface is optimized for interactive dataset assembly and publication, many researchers require programmatic access to both public data and permissioned private records to build reproducible pipelines for curation and analysis prior to release. We introduce BOLDconnectR, an R package that provides authenticated access to BOLD, returns records in the Barcode Core Data Model (BCDM), performs automated transformation into commonly used R data structures, and enables customizable analytic workflows that generate publication-ready outputs.
