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

In Slovenia, only the native natural enemies of plant pests that are on the EPPO Positive List of biological control agents can be used in agricultural production to control plant pests. The List of native species of organisms for biological control, which is an important part of the Regulations on biological control, currently includes a total of 35 species of beneficial insects and mites and entomopathogenic nematodes. Compared to the number of species on the first list that was established in 2006, the number of beneficial species that Slovenian growers of food and ornamental plants can currently use in everyday practice has doubled. This is the result of intensive professional and research work in the investigation of the occurrence and distribution of natural enemy species in Slovenia, which has been systematically supported by the state for many years. Natural enemy species, which are an integral part of the EPPO Positive List of biological control agents, can be included on the list of native biological control species via a special procedure. However, many natural enemy species that are not yet included on the EPPO Positive List have been identified in the period 2007-2022. In this paper, we list 75 such species and we present 5 candidates (Cotesia glomerata [L.], Diadegma semiclausum [Hellen], Anisopteromalus calandrae [Howard], Neochrysocharis formosa [Westwood] and Kampimodromus aberrans [Oudemans]) that, in our opinion, have high potential as biological controls and will be suitable in the future for mass rearing and use in augmentative biological control.
