A Herbivory-Induced Volatile Disrupts Host Selection by Chilli Thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis, on Strawberry.

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
The chilli thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is an invasive and polyphagous pest that exhibits a broad host range. S. dorsalis relies on both visual and olfactory cues to locate and recognize its host plants and exhibits preference for young foliage. However, little is known about the specific cues mediating host selection by S. dorsalis. The objectives of this study were to: (1) identify herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) produced by strawberry plants in response to S. dorsalis infestation versus mechanical damage; and (2) assess the behavioral response of S. dorsalis to uninfested versus infested strawberry plants. Laboratory olfactometer experiments revealed that S. dorsalis preferentially oriented to the volatiles from uninfested strawberry plants over those released by plants infested with conspecifics. In addition to the observed preference of S. dorsalis for uninfested strawberry plants, gas chromatographic-mass spectrometry revealed significant differences between the volatile compounds produced by uninfested strawberry plants and those produced by plants that had been infested with S. dorsalis in both the 'Florida Brilliance' and 'Florida Sensation' cultivars. Seventeen volatiles were identified from strawberry plants that were released in response to either mechanical or S. dorsalis feeding-induced damage; however, only three [(Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, cymene, and α-farnesene] were significantly elevated in S. dorsalis-infested plants relative to undamaged plants. One of these HIPVs, (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, eliminated natural attraction of S. dorsalis to uninfested strawberry even though it did not act as a repellent when presented alone. Our results suggest a possible practical application of semiochemicals for managing S. dorsalis in strawberry.
