Harnessing eDNA technology to identify fish diversity and distribution in the Kashi River, a tributary of the Ili River, Xinjiang, China.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
Monitoring species diversity and distribution patterns in remote ecosystems presents significant challenges due to vast geographic coverage, harsh environmental conditions, and the limited availability of traditional survey resources. Environmental DNA (eDNA) technology has been proven to be an effective method for biodiversity assessment, offering a non-invasive, cost-effective, and efficient solution. The study used eDNA metabarcoding technology to investigate fish communities in the Kashi River, a vital waterway in Xinjiang. Two-season of 37 eDNA water samples were taken from multiple sites, and 77 species were detected in April and 137 in September. Additionally, the results of spatial analysis showed that there were significant differences in fish composition among the different areas. These findings provided valuable insights into the ecological dynamics of the Kashi River of the Ili River, contributing to fish biodiversity conservation in freshwater ecosystem regions like the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Furthermore, the study underscored the potential of eDNA for long-term monitoring of freshwater ecosystems, informing conservation efforts, and managing fish resources in the Kashi River of the Ili River and similar freshwater ecosystems.
