Adjuvant-enhanced acaricidal solutions to overcome foliar hydrophobicity for controlling the litchi erinose mite (Aceria litchii).

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
Litchi erinose mite (Aceria litchii) is the primary pest of litchi trees in several countries, causing yield losses of up to 80%. Mite infestations lead to the formation of a protective layer on leaves, known as erinose, which shields mites from various adverse factors, including contact with applied acaricides. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of adjuvants on the properties of acaricide solutions and their impact on A. litchii. Nine adjuvants (Aureo®, Break-Thru®, Fighter®, Fixer®, Iharaguen-S®, MSO Spray®, Orix AD®, Silwet L-77®, and Wetcit Gold®) and two acaricides [Sanmite® (pyridaben) and Ortus® (fenpyroximate)] were selected for investigation. Initially, key solution properties—surface tension, contact angle, and pH—were measured using a tensiometer for sprays containing acaricides alone and in mixture with adjuvants. Biological efficacy was evaluated in laboratory leaf-disc arenas sprayed with a Potter spray tower, with mite survival assessed 96 h after application. Among the tested acaricides, pyridaben was the most effective, resulting in fewer mites surviving and leaving the erineum. Additionally, the adjuvants Break-Thru®, Fighter®, Iharaguen-S®, Silwet L-77®, and Wetcit Gold® enhanced acaricide efficacy, particularly when combined with pyridaben.
