Chilli thrips oviposition behavior: a comparative study among strawberry cultivars.
Article in Environmental entomology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Florida is the second-highest producer of strawberries in the USA. Chilli thrips Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) have become a major pest in Florida strawberries following its establishment in the USA after 2005. Insecticide application is the leading management approach for S. dorsalis. However, this pest demonstrated the tendency to develop resistance to a broad range of active ingredients. Host-plant resistance (HPR) may contribute to the management of this pest, yet mechanisms of HPR, including antixenosis and antibiosis against S. dorsalis in strawberries, are not well studied. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the preference of S. dorsalis to select strawberry cultivars as oviposition sites that resulted in a successful egg eclosion. Seven commercial strawberry cultivars namely, "Florida Brilliance," Florida Medallion "FL 16.30-128," Sweet Sensation "Florida 127," Florida Pearl "FL 16.78-109," "Strawberry Festival," "Florida Beauty," and "Florida Radiance" were evaluated as hosts in an oviposition choice test. Greenhouse potted strawberry plants were infested with 1- to 3-d-old adult S. dorsalis females. The cultivars used as treatment were replicated five times, and the study was repeated twice. Among the seven cultivars, Florida Pearl "FL 16.78-109," "Florida Beauty," and "Strawberry Festival" had a higher number of eggs in the leaf tissue compared with other tested cultivars. However, the egg hatching percentage did not demonstrate a specific trend. The results showed that S. dorsalis has a strong oviposition preference for certain strawberry cultivars over others, and this information may be incorporated into HPR for managing S. dorsalis in strawberries.
