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
In grape, fructosphere microbiota play an important role in nutrient cycling, pathogen suppression, berry quality, and fermentation processes. Insecticide imidacloprid (IM) is used to manage several insect pests of grape. However, the non-targeted effect of insecticide residues on grape-associated microbial communities is poorly understood. In the present study, the effect of IM applied at the recommended dose (RD) and ten times the recommended dose (10RD) on microbiota of grape berry surface was investigated under sub-tropical field conditions. Imidacloprid residues were quantified using LC-MS/MS, while bacterial and fungal community dynamics were analysed through 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing at three time points. Residue analysis revealed gradual dissipation of IM over time, although detectable residues persisted until harvest. Amplicon sequencing identified 1,556 bacterial and 1,348 fungal operational taxonomic units (OTUs). IM treatment significantly affected bacterial OTU abundance, whereas fungal OTUs were not significantly influenced. Beta diversity analysis demonstrated significant differences in bacterial community composition between control and IM-treated samples, while within-group dispersion remained non-significant. In contrast, fungal community composition did not differ significantly among treatments. Pseudomonadota (55-73%) was the dominant bacterial phylum across treatments, whereas Ascomycota (80-94%) predominated among fungal communities. IM exposure reduced the relative abundance of several ecologically important bacterial genera, including Pseudomonas, Sphingomonas, and Methylobacterium, at later sampling stages. Among fungal taxa, Lachnellula remained dominant across all treatments at day 30, whereas several low-abundance fungal genera showed reduced representation. Overall, the study indicated that persistent IM residues can restructure grape fructospheric microbial populations without causing much loss of microbial diversity. The findings suggested that pesticide residues may favour stress-tolerant microbial taxa, with potential implications for vineyard microbial ecology, vine health and berry quality.
