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

Hawai'i is subject to disproportionately high rates of biological invasion, including adventive insects. These alien species have been the targets of numerous biological control efforts. The contribution of native species preventing adventives from becoming invasive has received little attention. We analyzed numbers of invasive species utilized by native parasitoids, showing that resident natural enemies infrequently attack alien species, but in some cases, exert significant population control. Purposefully introduced biological control agents likely also contribute to mitigating new invasions. Certain taxa, such as Coleoptera, should be considered priority targets for importation biological control, as they appear highly unlikely to accumulate resident natural enemies.
