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

backgroundThe pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is the causal agent of pine wilt disease (PWD), a devastating disease that threatens pine forest ecosystems globally. Conventional control methods are often limited by their inefficiency, high cost, and operational challenges in complex terrain. This study developed an integrated chemical control strategy that combines unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) spraying technology with the systemic nematicide fluopyram to improve PWD management.

conclusionThe integration of UAV spraying with fluopyram provides an effective and operationally feasible strategy for PWD management. This approach offers improved control efficacy and environmental compatibility, highlighting its potential for large-scale and sustainable protection of pine forest ecosystems against the notorious PWD. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
