Laboratory evaluation of commercially available and naturally occurring predatory mites against Thrips parvispinus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae).
Article in Experimental & applied acarology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Predatory mites are widely used to control major thrips pests in agricultural systems. The invasive Thrips parvispinus represents a challenge to economically important plants, with limited information available on the potential of predatory mites to control it. Eight commercially available predatory mites in the USA: Amblyseius swirskii, Amblyseius andersoni, Amblydromalus limonicus, Neoseiulus cucumeris, Neoseiulus californicus, Euseius degenerans, Anystis baccarum, and Stratiolaelaps scimitus; and four naturally occurring predatory mites in Florida: Proprioseiopsis ovatus, Neoseiulus longispinosus, Amblyseius largoensis, and Amblyseius adhatodae were evaluated. In choice experiments, predators were exposed to pairs of T. parvispinus stages (first instar-L1, second instar-L2, prepupa, pupa, and adult) to assess preference. Subsequent no-choice assays quantified predation and oviposition on the preferred stage: all phytoseiids were offered L1, P. ovatus prepupae, A. baccarum L2, and S. scimitus L2 or prepupae. Prey consumption and oviposition were recorded every 24 h for four days. Neoseiulus longispinosus, A. largoensis, and A. adhatodae did not feed on T. parvispinus. The remaining phytoseiids preferred L1 over L2. Anystis baccarum preferred L2 and adult stages. Stratiolaelaps scimitus showed no stage preference, varying according to the offered stages. When offered L1, the highest predation was recorded for E. degenerans (5.78 L1/day), A. swirskii (4.14 L1/day), and N. cucumeris (3.23 L1/day). When offered L2, A. baccarum consumed 12.88 L2/day and S. scimitus 6.29 L2/day. All predators oviposited when feeding on T. parvispinus. Anystis baccarum produced one mass of 24 eggs, while the highest oviposition was observed for A. swirskii with 1.37 eggs/day. Our results suggest A. baccarum, S. scimitus, E. degenerans, N. cucumeris, and A. swirskii as the most promising predators of T. parvispinus.
