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

Oak galls are structures of modified plant tissue, induced by an ovipositing female oak gall wasp (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae: Cynipini), that provide food and shelter for her progeny. Myriad other wasp species exploit galls, feeding on either the gall wasp larva (parasitoidism), the gall tissue (inquilinism/kleptoparasitism), or other parasites within the gall (hyperparasitism). Though many oak gall-associated wasps are now described, their feeding ecology often remains poorly documented, particularly in the species-rich communities across North America. Wasps in the genus
