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

Nasonovia ribisnigri (Mosley) is a severe aphid pest of outdoor lettuce, and the combination of sporadic and unpredictable colonization on outdoor lettuce, along with the breakdown of cultivar resistance, has left few effective control methods. The population structure (spatially and temporally) of N. ribisnigri is currently unknown in England, and therefore microsatellite markers were designed to estimate the impacts of host plant selection pressure (including host plant resistance) and environmental change. Biological samples collected between 2003 and 2020 from 10 sites across England were typed with microsatellite markers. The analysis of 8 microsatellites indicated a clear east-west divide between N. ribisnigri populations, which corresponds with current outdoor lettuce cultivation distribution in England, one of the aphid's summer hosts. Analysis of gene flow indicated that aphids did not leave the eastern region; instead, there was strong evidence for aphids migrating from the West into the secondary host eastern region, possibly from the winter host (Ribes spp.) in Spring. This result suggests that although N. ribisnigri has the potential for long-distance migration, strong ties to the summer host (lettuce) determine migratory behavior at the population level. N. ribisnigri are mostly holocyclic and show a high level of inbreeding. Long-term trends revealed relatively stable populations, despite a recent breakdown of host plant resistance and other environmental changes, including favorable temperatures. The geographic and temporal structure of the N. ribisnigri population is discussed in relation to future pest management strategies.
