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
Active space, the area over which a stimulus elicits a behavioural reaction in a receiving individual, is an important yet seldom investigated aspect of insect behaviour. It defines the spatial scale over which an individual interacts with a stimulus and can influence mating success and population dynamics. From an applied perspective, active space is an important component of the effective range of semiochemical-baited traps used for surveillance of forest and agricultural insects. This study used wing fanning assays, competitive trapping, and portable electroantennography to investigate the active space of spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana Clemens (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) and spongy moth, Lymantria dispar dispar L. (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) pheromone-baited traps. Wing fanning assays and competitive trapping had similar outcomes for active space distance for both species. For spruce budworm, wing fanning assays estimate an active space of 18.4 m and competitive trapping experiments showed interference at distances less than 20 m. For spongy moth, wing fanning assays suggest an active space of 81.5 m, corroborating results from a previous study that estimated trap interference to occur at distances less than 80 m. Portable electroantennography displayed an increase in neural depolarization amplitude at distances less than 30 m for spruce budworm and 130 m for spongy moth. Overall, the three methods used showed similar results for the active space distance of each species.
