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

backgroundIn this study, field and greenhouse experiments were done with spray application of the insecticides acetamiprid, indoxacarb, deltamethrin, λ-cyhalothrin, spinosad, chlorantraniliprole on pepper and tomato plants. Results were interpreted with numerical modeling.

resultsObserved fruit concentration dynamics could be described overall well by modeling. After application, concentrations decreased in pepper and (slower) in tomato fruits (lower degradation and dissipation for tomato). Chemical input to individual above-ground compartments (fruit, leaf, stem, soil), arising from spray, was among the unknowns and hence estimated. Input to fruits was estimated 1-13% and 1-17% of the total applied amount; input to stem, leaf and/or soil 0-13% and 0-26% (pepper and tomato). Input showed high variation across compounds, with considerable uncertainty due to a partly low sensitivity of stem/leaf/soil input to fruit concentrations. The pathway stem-fruit was relevant for all compounds except λ-cyhalothrin (pepper, tomato) and deltamethrin (tomato). The pathways soil-root-stem-fruit and leaf-stem-fruit (phloem) were only sensitive for acetamiprid and chlorantraniliprole.

conclusionThe dynamic model approach, implementing the appearance and growth of individual fruits, was after calibration successful in describing insecticide fate in pepper and tomato plants. Special consideration was given to dynamic modelling of plant growth and connected xylem and phloem flow. The dynamic approach was superior to assuming constant plant mass and transpiration, where growth dilution is described by rate constants. Information on the time-window of experiments within the vegetation period and on the number and appearance of individual fruits is important for adequately describing growth and thus chemical fate within plants. © 2024 The Author(s).
