1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, is a significant pest in strawberry cultivation worldwide, causing substantial crop damage and economic losses. Biological control using predatory mites such as Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot and Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) is an essential component of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. However, the efficacy of these natural enemies can be negatively affected by acaricide applications. This study assessed the sublethal effects of two acaricides; bromopropylate, a synthetic agent, and GC-Mite, a botanical formulation, on the life history and population growth parameters of A. swirskii and N. californicus feeding on T. urticae in strawberry crops. Acute toxicity assays demonstrated that both predatory mites exhibited significantly lower susceptibility to these acaricides than T. urticae, with A. swirskii showing the greatest resistance.
