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
backgroundHydraulic spraying is the main method for applying entomopathogenic fungi (EPF). Negative effects of nozzle and spray pressure on conidial viability have been reported, and appropriate droplet size ranges have been proposed to mitigate them. However, information integrating nozzle-pressure interactions with both physical and biological parameters to identify configurations that maximize pest-control efficacy remains limited.
resultsConventional flat-fan XR110 nozzles and hollow-cone nozzles, including conventional ATR80 and air-induction TVI80, covering a range of orifice sizes, were initially evaluated for clogging at a spray pressure of 1.0 MPa. Only small-orifice flat-fan nozzles showed clogging. Droplet size distribution of non-clogging nozzles with ISO 01 and 02 orifice sizes was assessed at spray pressures between 1.0 and 2 MPa, together with their effects on conidial spray efficiency (conidia μL
conclusionOptimizing B. bassiana applications requires balancing clogging risk, droplet and deposition characteristics, conidial viability, and biological efficacy. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
