Exploring the pollen spectrum: impacts of ten plant pollen grains on the life history traits of Euseius scutalis (Acari: Phytoseiidae).

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
This study evaluated the significance of ten different pollen types-maize, Spanish broom, cattail, marshmallow, malva, sunflower, khejri, pomegranate, ice flower, and bee pollen-in influencing the development, reproduction, and population growth of E. scutalis. The aim was to enhance our understanding of the pollen spectrum acceptable to this predatory mite. Our results indicated that E. scutalis could not complete its immature development on maize, malva, marshmallow, and Spanish broom pollen. Bee and sunflower pollen resulted in the longest developmental times, while khejri, pomegranate, and cattail led to the shortest. The females fed ice flower and pomegranate pollen had the longest lifespans. The adult pre-oviposition period (APOP) was longest with bee and sunflower pollen and shortest with khejri and pomegranate pollen. The total pre-oviposition period (TPOP) was also longest on bee and sunflower pollen, with khejri resulting in the shortest TPOP. Females fed on pomegranate had the longest oviposition days, whereas those on sunflower had the shortest. The highest and lowest fecundity were on pomegranate and sunflower pollen, respectively. Ice flower, khejri, and pomegranate supported the highest gross and net reproductive rates, while bee and sunflower pollen yielded the lowest. Khejri and pomegranate resulted in the fastest growth rates and the highest intrinsic and finite rates of increase. Consequently, maize, malva, marshmallow, and Spanish broom were unsuitable to the growth and reproduction of E. scutalis; bee and sunflower pollen were the least suitable options; ice flower and cattail provided intermediate benefits; and khejri and pomegranate pollen were the most suitable.
