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

Certain parasites manipulate host behavior following infection to enhance their own dispersal and transmission. Lepidopteran larvae infected with baculoviruses exhibit increased locomotion, ascending to the apex of their host plant where they ultimately die in a characteristic inverted, liquefied posture suspended by their prolegs-a phenomenon termed "tree-top disease". Although numerous studies have investigated the underlying causes of this behavior, the precise mechanism governing tree-top disease formation remains unresolved. In this study,
