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

We analysed mitochondrial control region sequences of Procapra picticaudata (Tibetan gazelle) in northern Sikkim, India, to assess its genetic diversity, phylogenetic relationship, and demographic history. We identified 12 haplotypes from 24 successfully amplified fecal samples, exhibiting high haplotype diversity (h = 0.916) and nucleotide diversity (π = 0.00627). Bayesian phylogenetic analyses revealed that Sikkim haplotypes did not form a geographically exclusive clade; instead, they clustered with Tibetan Plateau haplotypes, whereas Chinese mountain samples formed a distinct lineage. Considerable genetic distance was observed between Indian and Chinese P. picticaudata and P. przewalskii. The newly generated sequences provide baseline information for future range-wide population genetic assessments and conservation planning for this small peripheral population.
