Ovipositional Preferences of Two Squash Bug Species, Anasa tristis and Anasa armigera (Heteroptera: Coreidae), for Different Cultivars and Species of Cucurbitaceae.
Article in Journal of insect science (Online), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 ovipositional preferences of two squash bug species, Anasa tristis (DeGeer) (Heteroptera: Coreidae) and Anasa armigera Say (Heteroptera: Coreidae), were evaluated in paired choice tests of different species and cultivars of plants in the family Cucurbitaceae. Females of A. tristis preferred to oviposit on the cultivar from which they were reared over three other cultivars of the same species. However, females did not show any ovipositional preference for different cultivars when they had no previous exposure to either cultivar. Females of A. tristis were equally likely to oviposit on Cucurbita pepo, Cucurbita maxima, and Cucurbita moschata but were significantly more likely to oviposit on C. pepo than on cucumber and watermelon. Females of A. armigera were equally likely to oviposit on C. pepo or cucumber, regardless of the species they were reared on. When A. armigera was reared on C. pepo, females were more likely to oviposit on C. maxima than on cucumber and less likely to oviposit on C. moschata than on cucumber.
