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

Leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) use substrate-borne vibrations to communicate, and characteristics of these vibrational signals help identify, locate, and assess suitability of potential mates. The strength and frequency composition of signals influence behavioral responses in conspecifics. Leafhoppers are known to produce these vibrational signals while probing, but it is unclear whether this dual activity degrades signal transmission, inducing a trade-off between nutrient acquisition and mate attraction. In contrast, we hypothesized that inserted mouthparts could provide an additional point of contact with the plant, improving signal transmission. Here, we combine simultaneous electropenetrography (EPG) and accelerometer recordings to assess how beet leafhopper [
