Impact of starvation on paternal reproductive investment in Neoseiulus californicus.

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
Neoseiulus californicus is an important biological control agent of small arthropod pests, widely used in preventive releases at low prey densities. Therefore, it is important to study reproductive investment of this species, both females and males, under environmental pressure of limited prey availability. Laboratory experiments were performed to investigate N. californicus male reproductive investment after short-time fasting or long-term starvation. When fasted for 36 h, males are still able to complete a single mating with no significant change in reproductive parameters of its mate. But the total mating duration became 24% longer, especially timing for the male to fill the first spermatheca of its mate increased by 35%. If daily food availability was less than 20% of demand, males were still able to mate until the end of life, but their fertility reduced after ca. the seventh mating. Mating of some males at the end of their lives are invalid, with their mates failing to oviposit. Overall, we summarized that reproductive investment demand for a single mating was low in N. californicus males, but its priority in energy allocation was high. When starved, males tried to guarantee their mating capability, but their fertility decreased gradually.
