Effect of a novel juvenoid fenoxycarb on the pupal-adult transformation in the blowfly, Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794) (Diptera: Calliphoridae).

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
Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794) (Diptera, Calliphoridae) acts as a vector of many disease-causing pathogens. It causes myiasis in human beings and other living vertebrates. In the present study, the effect of a juvenile hormone analog (JHA), fenoxycarb, was evaluated on pupal-adult transformation by exposing pupae (0 and 1-day-old) of blowfly. Pupae were topically treated with different concentrations of the compound, viz., 20, 40, and 80 µg/µl applied on the posterior dorsum with the help of a micropipette. The effects comprised various developmental aberrations, such as delayed pupal-adult ecdysis duration, pupal mortality, formation of pupal-adult intermediates, eclosion failure, reduced adult emergence, and formation of abnormal adults. The freshly molted pupae (0 day) were more susceptible as compared to 1-day-old pupae. Pupal mortality was highest at 80 µg. Normal adult emergence was completely inhibited at day 0 pupae treated with 80 µg of the fenoxycarb. These results demonstrate that fenoxycarb was capable of successfully inhibiting the pupal-adult transformation, and thus, it can be used to control this myiasis-causing agent.
