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
backgroundThe striped flea beetle, Phyllotreta striolata, is a destructive pest of Brassicaceous vegetables, and its management still relies largely on chemical insecticides. The development of environmentally compatible control strategies that provide reliable field performance across pest life stages is therefore a priority. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) represent a promising alternative, but their field efficacy depends strongly on formulation, application rate, and compatibility with other biological control agents.
resultsField experiments showed that a sprayable formulation of Steinernema carpocapsae significantly reduced leaf damage and adult populations compared with an infected-cadaver formulation. Dose-response trials indicated that an application rate of 1.0 × 10
conclusionsAn optimized combination of S. carpocapsae and B. bassiana provides effective field control of P. striolata by exerting complementary effects on soil-dwelling larvae and foliar-feeding adults. This study demonstrates that careful optimization of formulation, application rate, and agent compatibility is essential for achieving stable biological control under field conditions, supporting the integration of EPN-fungus strategies into practical pest management programs. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
