Evaluating the Effects of Flavonoids on Insects: Implications for Managing Pests Without Harming Beneficials.
Review in Insects, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
Flavonoids have multiple functions, including host-plant defense against attacks from herbivorous insects. This manuscript reviewed and analyzed the scientific literature to test the hypothesis that flavonoids can be utilized to manage pests without causing significant harm to beneficials. The methodology involved using recognized literature databases, e.g., Web of Science, Scopus, and CAB Abstracts, via the USDA-ARS, National Agricultural Library, DigiTop literature retrieval system. Data were compiled in tables and subjected to statistical analysis, when appropriate. Flavonoids were generally harmful to true bugs and true flies but harmless to honey bees. Flavonoid glycosides showed a tendency to harm true bugs (Heteroptera) and true flies (Diptera). Flavonoid glycosides were harmless to sawflies. Flavonoids and flavonoid glycosides produced a mixture of harmful and harmless outcomes to herbivorous beetles, depending on the species. Flavonoid glycosides were harmless to butterflies. In conclusion, specific flavonoids could function as feeding stimulants or deterrents, oviposition stimulants or deterrents, chemical protectants from pesticides, mating attractants, less-toxic insecticides, and other functions. Flavonoids could manage some insect pests without causing significant harm to beneficials (e.g., honey bees). Flavonoid-based insecticides could serve as environmentally benign alternatives to broad-spectrum insecticides against some pests, but field testing is necessary.
