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

Most eulophid wasps are primary parasitoids, mainly of endophytic insect larvae (Diptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, Hemiptera, and Thysanoptera), but can also attack spider eggs, gall-forming mites, or nematodes. A few species are known to parasitize ants. Here we report on the occurrence of Horismenus floridensis (Schauff and Bouček) attacking Camponotus atriceps (Smith) in southern Mexico (Campeche), expanding the distribution for this eulophid species and the range of its potential hosts. We also provide an updated list of the Horismenus Walker species found in Mexico, which currently includes 21 identified species. This is the second host ant ever recorded for H. floridensis and the first reliable record of C. atriceps as a host for this eulophid wasp. The first host ant reported from Florida 35 years ago was the closely related valid species, C. floridanus (Buckley), erroneously synonymized at that time with C. atriceps (formerly, C. abdominalis (Fabricius)).
