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

Strawberry, Fragaria x ananassa Duchesne (Rosales: Rosaceae), is an important specialty crop in Florida, generating about $500 million in annual revenue. An invasive insect, chilli thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), has emerged as a major strawberry pest, causing considerable yield and revenue loss in recent years. Pesticide application is the leading control option but is not always recommended due to resistance development. Host plant resistance (HPR) can be a novel option to manage S. dorsalis sustainably. Four commercial cultivars, 'Florida Brilliance', 'Florida Medallion FL16.30-128', 'Sweet Sensation 'Florida127', and 'Florida Pearl FL16.78-109', were evaluated for their performance in the 2021-2022 field season under the natural population of S. dorsalis. In 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, 3 more cultivars, 'Strawberry Festival', 'Florida Radiance', and 'Florida Beauty', were added to this list. Twenty bare-root strawberry transplants were planted in each field plot, and each cultivar was replicated 8 times in a randomized complete block design. Damage on trifoliate, number of adults and larval S. dorsalis on trifoliate, number of flowers, and marketable fruit yield were assessed for each cultivar. Results revealed that 'Florida Pearl 109' had the highest insect count and damage index of all 3 year. 'Strawberry Festival' also showed the same trend after its introduction in the second year. 'Florida Brilliance' and 'Sweet Sensation' had the lowest damage index, lowest adult insect count, and higher marketable yield compared to 'Florida Pearl 109' and 'Strawberry Festival'. Therefore, utilizing resistant cultivars can be an effective tool for managing S. dorsalis in the field.
