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

Sex ratio bias is common in migratory animals and can affect population structure and reproductive strategies, thereby altering population development. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms that lead to sex ratio bias in migratory insect populations. In this study, we used Cnaphalocrocis medinalis, a typical migratory pest of rice, to explore this phenomenon. A total of 1,170 moths were collected from searchlight traps during immigration periods in 2015-2018. Females were much more abundant than males each year (total females: total males = 722:448). Sex-based differences in emergence time, take-off behaviour, flight capability and energy reserves were evaluated in a laboratory population. Females emerged 0.78 days earlier than males. In addition, the emigratory propensity and flight capability of female moths were greater than those of male moths, and female moths had more energy reserves than did male moths. These results indicate that female moths migrate earlier and can fly farther than male moths, resulting more female moths in the studied immigratory population.
