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

Entomopathogenic fungi play a pivotal role in pest management, and Beauveria bassiana is one of the most important microbial pathogens in the regulation of insect pests. A study was conducted to isolate and characterise a native B.bassiana with potential as a biological control agent against rice bug, Leptocorisa acuta. A new isolate was obtained from an epizootic observed on rice bug, a major pest of rice in Kerala, India. The fungus was identified as a new isolate of Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill. (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) based on morphological studies. Conidiophores were densely clustered with sub-globose to flask-shaped vesicles and zigzag rachis, hyaline, aseptate hyphae (~ 3.44 μm), and globose-to-subglobose smooth conidia (~ 3.38 × 2.56 μm). The molecular analysis of the fungus revealed the highest similarity with B. bassiana, and the sequence has been deposited in NCBI with accession number OP023314 as B. bassiana RB PTB. The optimum temperature and pH for the growth and sporulation of the new isolate were 27 °C and 6, respectively. Bioassays using conidial suspensions (10³ to 10⁸ conidia mL
