Dynamics of bacterial communities across developmental stages of the litchi stink bug, Tessaratoma javanica.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
The Litchi stink bug, Tessaratoma javanica (Thunberg) (Hemiptera: Tessaratomidae), is a major insect pest of litchi in India. Insect-associated bacteria play significant roles in their growth and development. We studied the bacterial communities linked to T. javanica using 16 S rRNA amplicon sequencing and predicted the functions of associated bacterial communities. The findings revealed that bacterial communities significantly differ across the developmental stages of T. javanica. The primary bacterial phyla across all developmental stages linked to T. javanica were Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidota, Actinobacteria, Patescibacteria, and Nitrospirota. Class Gammaproteobacteria predominated in first and 4th nymphal instars, and adult females, whereas Bacilli dominated the gut of the 3rd, and 5th nymphal instars of T. javanica. Ligilactobacillus apodemi, Staphylococcus xylosus, and Pseudomonas furukawaii were identified as the predominant bacterial species associated with T. javanica. The peak bacterial diversity was observed in the 5th nymphal instar and the lowest in the 1st nymphal instar. The observed changes between growth and developmental stages indicate that bacterial communities are dynamic and perpetually developing to meet the metabolic functions of T. javanica. Comprehending these interactions will improve our understanding of the ecological relationship with this pest and assists in developing and implementing efficient biological control plans for its management.
