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

Housekeeping and colony defense behaviors are crucial for social aphids, as they help maintain a habitable living environment and enhance their ecological adaptability. However, over the past decades, numerous studies have focused on housekeeping and colony defense behaviors in species living in primary hosts, but little attention has been given to the secondary host stage. This constrains a deeper understanding of the altruistic behavior of social aphids, as well as the ecological and evolutionary significance of such behavior. We employed indoor video recordings to document and analyze the behaviors displayed by the soldiers of the sugarcane wooly aphid,
