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

Biopesticides are biological products or organisms which are potential candidates for eco-friendly pest management and crop protection over the chemical pesticides. The so-called biopesticides include viruses, bacteria, fungi, predators, parasites, and pheromones exhibiting a variety of modes of actions. They are less toxic, rapidly degradable, and more targeted to specific pests. However, it is noted that the formulation of biopesticides plays a crucial link between production and application, and the former dictates economy, longer shelf life, ease of application, and enhanced field efficacy. Moreover, there is an urgent need for organic farmers to gain more proficiency in using biopesticides. Even though biopesticides have more advantages, the main challenge is the marketing of biopesticides. Advances in biopesticide research and development significantly reduce the environmental damage caused by the residues of synthetic insecticides and support sustainable agriculture. Numerous products have been developed since the introduction of biopesticides, some of which have taken the lead in the agro-market after being registered and released. The types of biopesticides; their mode of action; formulation strategies; recent advancements of biopesticides focusing mainly on improvement of its action spectra, to thereby replace chemical pesticides; and finally, the future aspects of biopesticides have been discussed in this review.
