Comparative Ultrastructure and Ecological Adaptation of Adhesive Setae in Four Species of Longhorn Beetles (Coleoptera).
Article in Insects, 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
Longhorn beetles mainly harm trees, flowers, and certain crops. They are closely associated with their host plants and often climb on vertical trunks, branches, and the underside of leaves. Their tarsi have numerous micro-scale adhesive setae on the ventral side. These setae provide sufficient force to enable the beetles to adhere firmly to smooth or slightly micro-structured surfaces. This study observed and analyzed the ultrastructures of the adhesive setae of three species from different subfamilies of Cerambycidae and one species from Vesperidae using a scanning electron microscope. The comparative analysis focused on characterizing the types, morphology, distribution patterns and adhesion mechanisms of the adhesive ultrastructures in four longhorn beetle species. The results showed that the longhorn beetles generally had pseudotetramerous tarsi (except
