Fly into the light: eliminating Drosophila melanogaster with chlorophyllin-based Photodynamic Inactivation.

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
Fruit flies spoil crops in agricultural settings. As conventional pesticides may generate negative off-target effects on humans or the environment, existing treatment methods need eco-friendly and safe alternatives. Photodynamic Inactivation (PDI) is based on the photosensitizer-mediated and light-induced overproduction of reactive oxygen species in targets. We here explore the potential of PDI for the control of fruit fly pests. Drosophila melanogaster serves as well-established model organism in this study. Two distinct experimental approaches are presented: the feed assay, in which fruit flies are provided with sodium magnesium chlorophyllin (Chl, approved as food additive E140) along with sucrose (3%) as their food, and the spray assay, where the photosensitizer is sprayed onto the insects. We show that PDI based on Chl can induce moribundity rates of Drosophila melanogaster of more than 99% with 5 mM Chl and LED illumination (395 nm, 8 h incubation in the dark, radiant exposure 78.9 J/cm
