Aggregative Infestation of Nine Bostrichidae Species on the Madagascar Almond Tree, Terminalia neotaliala Capuron (Myrtales: Combretaceae).

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
Bostrichid beetles are well-known pests of wood and wood products in the world. The Madagascar almond tree, Terminalia neotaliala Capuron (Myrtales: Combretaceae), is uniquely layered and has been introduced and cultivated across several continents, where it is commonly used in urban landscape projects. To assess the damage caused by bostrichid beetles to T. neotaliala, the damage status of T. neotaliala, the classification of bostrichid beetles, and their vertical distribution on host plants were investigated. The primary site of infestation by bostrichid beetles on T. neotaliala living trees was the lateral branches in the fields with the damage symptoms, including unseasonable yellowed leaves, branch breakage, or eventual death of the entire lateral branch. The total percentage of attacked plants was 9.53%. Significant positive correlations existed between the percentage of attacked plants and the diameter at breast height and crown width, but not with the tree height. The percentage of damage by bostrichid beetles to T. neotaliala reached level I and level II over the 2-year observation. A total of nine species from four genera of Bostrichidae infested the T. neotaliala, i.e., Sinoxylon eucerum Lesne, S. flabrarius Lesne, S. japonicum Lesne, S. mangiferae Chûjô, S. pygmaeum Lesne, S. tignarium Lesne, Xylocis tortilicornis Lesne, Xylodectes ornatus (Lesne), and Xylopsocus capucinus (Fabricius). There were no distinct differences in the total number of Bostrichidae species on different crown layers of T. neotaliala, and no significant correlations between the total number of species and individuals, and the number of individuals of each species and the measurements of plants (i.e., diameter at breast height, crown width, and tree height). Our findings provide essential information for the development, implementation and monitoring of effective control strategies against bostrichid beetles on T. neotaliala.
