Methods for collecting and rearing three sympatric biocontrol agents of Adelges tsugae (Hemiptera: Adelgidae) in eastern North America.
Article in Journal of insect science (Online), 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
A decline in global forest health, due in part to the spread of insect pests, has prompted research into effective, sustainable, and economically feasible solutions to manage forest pests, including the use of classical biological control. Among the top 5 imperiled tree species in North America, eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carriere) is impacted by the invasive hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae Annand, accidentally introduced from southern Japan. Three specialist natural enemies of A. tsugae found on western hemlock woolly adelgid in western North America have been deemed promising biological control agents and approved for release-2 species of silver fly, Leucotaraxis argenticollis (Zetterstedt) and Leucotaraxis piniperda (Malloch), and a beetle, Laricobius nigrinus Fender. Supplying quantities of these predators needed for research and release has special challenges given their dietary and habitat needs. We have developed novel collection and rearing methods for producing these 3 predators simultaneously in large numbers as part of a rearing and release strategy in eastern North America.
