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 aim of this study was to investigate the culturable bacterial flora of Erschoviella musculana, which causes damage to leaves, shoots, branches, trunk, and fruits of walnut trees, in order to find a possible microbial control agent against walnut pests. In this study, a total of 11 bacteria were isolated from live and dead larvae of E. musculana and identified based on their morphological, biochemical, and molecular characteristics. Based on these results, the isolates were identified as Bacillus toyonensis EMB1, Bacillus toyonensis EMB3, Stenotrophomonas rhizophila EMO6, Stenotrophomonas rhizophila EM8, Delftia tsuruhatensis EM14, Acinetobacter modestus EM20, Lelliottia amnigena EM21, Bacillus toyonensis EM22, Pantoea vagans EM37, Pseudomonas alloputida EM42, and Stenotrophomonas geniculata EM43. The biological control potential of these isolates on E. musculana, Hyphantria cunea (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae), and Panaphis juglandis (Hemiptera: Callaphididae), which are very important walnut pests, was determined. The results showed that B. toyonensis strain EMB1 had the highest virulence (82%) on the larvae of H. cunea and S. rhizophila strain EM8 had the highest virulence (83%) on the nymphs of P. juglandis. On the other hand, S. geniculata strain EM43 caused 100% mortality on the larvae of E. musculana. The results of this study show that bacteria associated with E. musculana appear to be promising microbial control agents for walnut pests.
