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

Coprophagous insects frequently encounter veterinary medication residues that are excreted unmetabolized in livestock dung. These residues often negatively affect insect survival, reproduction, and ecosystem services and may contribute to the rapid decline in insect populations. Ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug widely used to treat parasites in livestock. While it has long been recognized that ivermectin residues affect insect survival, the potential interactive effects between ivermectin exposure and other ecologically relevant abiotic stressors remain poorly understood. Here, we study these effects in the black scavenger fly
