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

The multiple Diatraea (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) species comprising the stem borer complex are among the most damaging pests of sugarcane in the Americas, with D. saccharalis, D. indigenella, D. busckella, and D. tabernella considered as the most widespread species in Colombia. Entomological research in Colombia has focused on the use of egg and larval parasitoids to control populations and minimize their negative economic impacts. However, the declining effectiveness of these parasitoids on certain species has encouraged the exploration of complementary management strategies, including alternatives such as insecticidal proteins derived from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). This study evaluated the toxicity of the Cry1Ab protein from Bt against the four most widespread species of the Diatraea complex in Colombia using a bioassay protocol with fresh corn tissue. The mortality rate of Cry1Ab protein followed a concentration response in three of the four species tested, enabling the estimation of toxicity parameters [Lethal Concentration (LC) LC
