Assessing the resistance to acaricides in Varroa destructor from several Spanish locations.
Article in Parasitology research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 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
Varroosis is the disease caused by the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor, one of the most destructive diseases of honeybees. In Spain, there is great concern because there are many therapeutic failures after acaricide treatments intended to control varroosis outbreaks. In some of these cases it is not clear whether such failures are due to the evolution of resistance. Therefore, it is of high interest the development of methodologies to test the level of resistance in mite populations. In this work, a simple bioassay methodology was used to test whether some reports on low efficacy in different regions of Spain were in fact related to reduced Varroa sensitivity to the most used acaricides. This bioassay proved to be very effective in evaluating the presence of mites that survive after being exposed to acaricides. In the samples tested, the mortality caused by coumaphos ranged from 2 to 89%; for tau-fluvalinate, it ranged from 5 to 96%. On the other hand, amitraz caused 100% mortality in all cases. These results suggest the presence of Varroa resistant to coumaphos and fluvalinate in most of the apiaries sampled, even in those where these active ingredients were not used in the last years. The bioassay technique presented here, either alone or in combination with other molecular tools, could be useful in detecting mite populations with different sensitivity to acaricides, which is of vital interest in selecting the best management and/or acaricide strategy to control the parasite in apiaries.
