Bioassay method for assessing insecticide susceptibility in thrips.
Article in Neotropical entomology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) are sucking pests that damage a wide range of crops worldwide. Chemical insecticides are the main strategy for their control, but species can vary in susceptibility or develop resistance. Here, we developed and validated a bioassay method (dip test) using soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) leaf discs to evaluate the susceptibility of thrips to insecticides. We compared the susceptibility of Caliothrips phaseoli (Hood, 1912) to acephate and spinetoram assessed using this method with results of the IRAC Susceptibility Test Method 010, in which bean pod sections are dipped into an insecticide solution. Concentration-mortality data from both methods fit the probit model, with mortality lines showing similar parameters (intercepts and slopes) and mortality increasing with the increase of insecticide concentrations. The lethal concentrations (LCs) of acephate were similar for both methods, whereas spinetoram showed higher LCs in the proposed method. Nonetheless, mortality at field label doses of both insecticides was consistently high (96.5-100%) in both methods. In conclusion, acephate and spinetoram exhibited high lethality against C. phaseoli, and the proposed bioassay method, due to its simplicity, reliability, and statistical robustness, represents a reliable alternative to the IRAC method for assessing susceptibility of thrips species to insecticides.
