Simultaneous identification of multiple thrips species (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) from sticky traps using DNA metabarcoding.
Article in Journal of economic entomology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
More than 130 thrips (Insecta, Thysanoptera) species are significant pests of agricultural crops, 16 of which are known vectors of economically important plant viruses from the Orthotospovirus genus (Bunyavirales: Tospoviridae). It is important to monitor and identify which thrips species are present in production systems so that appropriate controls can be deployed to prevent and manage thrips damage and virus spread. To overcome the challenges of traditional thrips monitoring using sticky traps and morphological identification, a DNA metabarcoding assay was developed, for accurate, high-throughput, and scalable identification of multiple thrips species. For this, a curated mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) database of thrips, based on combined morphological and molecular identification of 70 specimens, was developed and highlighted the importance of combined morphological and molecular identification with the correction of misidentified sequences present on public databases. The metabarcoding method can identify an individual target species within a thrips DNA mixture at a relative abundance of 0.1%, and it successfully identified up to nine different thrips species collected from sticky traps, weeds, and ornamental plants, even up to 2 years after they were collected and kept on sticky traps. Metabarcoding from sticky traps has potential to greatly increase the efficiency of monitoring thrips and represents a significant biosecurity advance for the horticulture industry.
