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

Ionizing radiation is used as a phytosanitary treatment to prevent the introduction of pests through trade. Generic doses are a valuable means to increase the number of pest-commodity combinations that can be treated using phytosanitary irradiation. Generic doses allow for the treatment of the entire taxa for which the dose has been approved, allowing for the treatment of untested species. As such, the approval of a generic dose requires substantial supporting data and careful consideration of the risks involved. We adopt the Species Sensitivity Distribution (SSD) framework, already in widespread use in the field of ecotoxicology and environmental risk assessment, to evaluate generic doses for phytosanitary irradiation treatments. Parametric SSDs for Curculionidae and Tephritidae were developed using existing data on efficacious phytosanitary irradiation treatments. The resulting SSDs provided estimates of the taxa coverage expected by the generic dose, along with the margin of uncertainty. The SSD analysis lends support to the existing 150 Gy generic dose for Tephritidae and a proposed 175 Gy generic dose for Curculionidae. The quantitative estimates of risk produced by the SSD approach can be a valuable tool for phytosanitary rule making, improving the process for generic dose development and approval.
