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

General trends and strategies for the development of new pesticides are summarized. From 2015 to 2025, 156 chemical pesticides were launched or are under development: 47 fungicides, 54 insecticides/acaricides, 9 nematicides, and 46 herbicides. Most are safe to humans and environmentally friendly. The most developed fungicides are succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors, quinone outside inhibitors, quinone inside inhibitors, and demethylation inhibitors. The general trend of insecticide development is in the progress of four major classes of insecticides: nicotinic insecticides, diamide insecticides, GABA-gated chloride channel allosteric modulators, and insect behavior or growth regulators. Due to the development of resistance to fungicides and insecticides with existing modes of action, many compounds possessing various novel modes of action have been developed. Peptide pesticides and RNAi-based insecticides have been put into practical use. Although no herbicides with novel modes of action appeared for approximately 30 years before 2018, since then eight herbicides with five novel modes of action have emerged, including those for existing herbicides. The development of useful acaricides and nematicides is also progressing.
