Field assessment of brix and firmness affecting Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) infestation in California sweet cherry cultivars.
Article in Journal of economic entomology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Spotted-wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is a damaging insect pest of sweet cherry fruit worldwide including in the central valley of California where it was first reported as an economic pest in spring 2009. The aim of this field-based study was to assess the relationship of Brix level and skin firmness on D. suzukii oviposition and infestation in 4 commercially important sweet cherry cultivars: Bing, Black Tartarian, Brooks, and Rainier. Results of this field study found that both higher Brix values and lower skin firmness resulted in increased fruit infestation in all varieties, highlighting the importance of these factors in host susceptibility. Other potential factors are also discussed as they relate to D. suzukii fruit infestation. Implications of these findings are discussed as well as how they might be used in future D. suzukii management in sweet cherries.
