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
The tea red spider mite Oligonychus coffeae, is considered as important dry weather pest which accounts for almost 8-17% crop loss in South Indian tea plantations. The green lacewing Chrysoperla zastrowi sillemi is one of the prominent predators of soft bodied insects of different agro-ecosystems, including tea. However, the data on biology and life table parameters of this predator on tea red spider mite are limited and hence the current study was undertaken on the biology and life table parameters of C. z. sillemi at three temperature regimes (20 °C, 25 °C and 30 °C) under laboratory conditions. Furthermore, its biocontrol potential was evaluated under field conditions for two seasons. During the study, the eggs, larvae and adults were collected from UPASI Experimental Farm and the taxonomic determination was ascertained through COI gene sequencing. The biological parameters such as duration of oviposition, mean fecundity, percentage hatchability of eggs, duration of larval development and longevity of adults were significantly optimum at 20 °C, among the three temperature regimes tested. The intrinsic rate of increase, finite rate of increase and weekly multiplication rate were higher at 30 °C, followed by 25 °C and 20 °C. The net reproductive rate of the female and gross reproduction rate were found to be the maximum at 25 °C followed by 30 °C and 20 °C. The results obtained from the field evaluations also showed a significant reduction in the O. coffeae population below ETL (Economic threshold level) level in the bio-control plot (T
