Diet optimization for rearing Transeius montdorensis predatory mites under laboratory conditions.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The predatory mite Transeius montdorensis (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is a biological control agent against a range of insect pests like thrips, whiteflies, broad mites and russet mites across protected crops. Optimizing diet for rearing T. montdorensis under laboratory conditions is crucial for improving their application in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. Here, we evaluated the development and reproduction of T. montdorensis when fed on four different diets, including cattail pollen (Typha latifolia), living dried fruit mites (Carpoglyphus lactis), frozen C. lactis eggs, and a mixed diet of frozen C. lactis eggs and T. latifolia pollen. Females consuming the mixed diet exhibited highest fecundity, daily oviposition rate, intrinsic rate of increase (r
