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

DNA barcoding is a highly effective tool for species identification, complementing taxonomic and phylogenetic studies while also playing a key role in biomonitoring and uncovering cryptic diversity. Techniques such as DNA barcoding, metabarcoding and environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis are widely applied in biodiversity conservation, tracking invasive species and studying trophic interactions. To carry out this type of research effectively, a robust DNA barcode library is essential, built upon high-quality genetic sequences and accurate taxonomic identification. Here, we present the results of a large-scale DNA barcoding study of Polish diplopod species (Myriapoda: Diplopoda), providing an up-to-date checklist of species recorded in Poland and a reference DNA barcode library. We deliver data on 981 individuals identified to species level, of which 468 have COI sequence data. 58 out of 93 species recorded for Poland were successfully barcoded, representing 62% of the national fauna. Additionally, we explore future research directions, potential cryptic diversity and shifts in the national fauna, including newly recorded species for Poland-
