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

Air anions are molecules that have gained one or more additional electrons. While there have been several studies on the application of air anions in various fields such as air pollution, microorganisms, and plants, there has been no reported application to insects. This study explored the effects of air anions on greenhouse pests, Tetranychus urticae and Aphis gossypii, and analyzed their potential as an eco-friendly pest control method. The results showed that air anions exhibited insecticidal and repellent effects on both T. urticae and A. gossypii. Moreover, treatment with air anions for three weeks increased the total phenolic content in kidney beans, and the consumption of these leaves resulted in mortality effects on T. urticae. Additionally, in a greenhouse assay, a three-week air anion treatment on kidney beans resulted in approximately 92.3% control efficacy against T. urticae. In conclusion, air anions negatively impacted T. urticae, suggesting their potential use as an eco-friendly pest control method.
