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

The blister beetle, Epicauta atomaria (Germar) (Coleoptera: Meloidae), is a Neotropical pest of various horticultural crops. This pest consume leaves causing significant reduction in the plant foliage. To develop sustainable tools for managing this insect species, we evaluated the repellent and insecticidal activity of ethanolic extracts from six plant species commonly found in Argentina: Artemisia annua (L.), Cantinoa mutabilis ((Rich.) Harley and J.F.B Pastore), Dysphania ambrosioides ((L.) Mosyakin and Clemants), Lantana camara (L.), Ricinus communis (L.), and Taraxacum officinale (F.H Wigg). The results showed that D. ambrosioides was the most active extract, with strong repellent activity at concentrations below 200 μg/μL (1.5 mg/cm
