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
Sugars are important carbon sources involved in microbial growth and functional regulation. However, how sugars with different structural characteristics regulate microbial pesticide performance in complex formulation systems remains unclear. In this study, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) formulations were used to systematically evaluate the effects of different sugars on functional traits. The results showed pronounced type-dependent regulatory effects. Sugars with distinct structural features modulated biofilm formation by affecting cell adhesion and extracellular polysaccharide production. An optimized sugar combination increased biofilm yield by approximately tenfold. Certain sugars further enhanced UV tolerance and insecticidal activity. For example, pectin increased the survival rate of suspension concentrates by 5.3-fold after 4 h of UV exposure, while glucose, glycerol, and maltose improved insecticidal activity by 2.72-3.91-fold. Further analysis indicated that sugar structural characteristics are critical determinants of their regulatory effects, influencing bacterial surface interactions and the microenvironment. This biofilm-centered mechanism showed consistency across different formulation types. Overall, this study provides new insights into the development of stable and efficient Bt-based biopesticides.
