Effects of cyclotide-producing plants on the development and life history parameters of Leipothrix violarius.

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
Leipothrix violarius (Acariformes: Eriophyoidea) is a phytophagous mite specialized in feeding on plants from the genus Viola. It has been recorded on five host species, including Viola uliginosa, which is rare or endangered in much of its range. Despite taxonomic revisions, little is known about the biology or host specificity of L. violarius. In this study, we compared the effects of V. uliginosa and V. odorata on the development, survival, and population parameters of L. violarius, and assessed its host range using selected ornamental and naturally occurring violets. Development from egg to adult took approximately seven days on both host plant species, with no sex-related differences. However, mites reared on V. odorata exhibited faster egg development and greater population increase per generation than those reared on V. uliginosa. Population growth occurred on all tested host species, although mite performance varied. Viola plants produce cyclotides-bioactive cyclic peptides with antimicrobial and insecticidal properties. The observed differences in mite performance may reflect interspecific variation in cyclotide content or composition, suggesting a role for these compounds in plant resistance. Due to its narrow host range and epidermal feeding behavior, L. violarius offers a promising model for studying plant-mite interactions at the surface level. This system may help clarify how cyclotides mediate and respond to herbivory in Viola species.
