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

Poor nutrition is a known contributing factor to ongoing high rates of honey bee colony mortality. Beekeepers invest significant resources to provide supplemental feeds to their colonies, but currently available diets are nutritionally incomplete. To test whether commercially managed colonies fed a manufactured, nutritionally complete Pollen-Replacing Feed (PRF-1) would exhibit improved colony health outcomes compared to beekeeper-selected Commercial Standard Feeds, we tracked colony health metrics from fall through almond pollination and the subsequent spring in a large-scale, multi-year field trial. By January (in almonds), PRF-1-fed colonies had 1.19 more frames of bees (
