Spider (Araneae) Abundance and Diversity Across Land-Use Gradients.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 agricultural insect pest control, there has been a movement away from broad-spectrum insecticide use towards more sustainable practises. These include lowering pesticide inputs and reducing the harm on beneficial invertebrates, and keeping a more diverse landscape to allow for a more holistic approach to agriculture. Spiders are the dominant and most abundant invertebrate predators in horticultural growing systems. Despite the known potential of spiders as pest reduction ecosystem service providers, they are generally understudied worldwide. We sampled spider populations in economically important kiwifruit orchards that are adjacent to either low-disturbance ecosystems (native forest) or high-disturbance ecosystems (maize), using pitfall traps and active sampling. A total of 2710 spiders were collected from 27 families, representing 64 species and eight functional guilds. The total spider count comprised 2064 (76.2% of total) immature specimens and 646 (23.8% of total) adults. The four most common species (
