Acute toxicity of the insecticide Imidacloprid and the herbicide 2,4-D in two species of tropical anurans.

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
The use of pesticides has notably increased in recent years globally. However, sensitive organisms exposed to these environmental pollutants, such as amphibians, may experience adverse effects. The insecticide imidacloprid (IM) and the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) are two pesticides commonly used in Colombia, but their toxic impacts on tropical anurans remain poorly understood. In this study, we tested the acute toxic effects of IM and 2,4-D on the survival, total length, and burst swimming speed of tadpoles from two anuran species. Under laboratory conditions, the tadpoles of Boana platanera and Engystomops pustulosus were independently exposed to each pesticide for 96 h. We found that the tadpoles of E. pustulosus were more sensitive to both IM and 2,4-D than those of B. platanera. However, the LC
