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 InsectGUILD dataset is an online data resource that compiles traits related to the feeding ecology and phenology for phytophagous butterflies, moths (Insecta: Lepidoptera) and sawflies (Insecta: Hymenoptera). We present traits on larval feeding guild (set of species that exploit the same type of resources in a similar way), larval host plant specificity (trophic specialisation) and voltinism (number of generations in a year) for a total of 4,818 species of the Lepidoptera in 84 families and 109 species of the Hymenoptera in 9 families. The lepidopteran and hymenopteran species subject of this collection have been recorded as feeders on dominant woody flora from the Northern Hemisphere. Features presented here are derived from online databases, field guides, and other literature resources. The InsectGUILD dataset resolves part of the data gap on large-scale insects' feeding strategies in relation to host plants. By making these data freely available, we aim to provide an important data source for trait-based analyses exploring different research questions on interactions between insect herbivores and their associated host plant(s).
