New Mitochondrial Genomic Resources for the Freshwater Fishes of the Sanaga River (Cameroon).
Article in Ecology and evolution, 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
The Sanaga River Basin in Cameroon harbors a rich and largely undocumented ichthyofaunal diversity. This study presents the first complete mitochondrial genome dataset for nine freshwater fish species from the basin, spanning four teleost orders: Siluriformes, Characiformes, Cypriniformes, and Cichliformes. A total of 39 specimens were sequenced using Illumina NovaSeq, and mitogenomes were assembled and annotated via a dedicated bioinformatic pipeline. Genome sizes ranged from 16,524 to 16,692 bp, with GC content between 42% and 47%. All mitogenomes exhibited conserved gene structure and order, while the control region (D-loop) showed notable size variation, consistent with patterns observed in other teleosts. Phylogenetic analyses based on 13 protein-coding genes and two rRNA genes revealed well-supported monophyletic clades for each species, confirming taxonomic assignments and validating morphological identifications. This work provides foundational genomic resources for Sanaga basin freshwater fishes and contributes to regional efforts in taxonomy, phylogeography, and conservation.
