Numerical Modeling Reveals That Resistant Western Corn Rootworm Are Stronger Fliers than Their Susceptible Conspecifics.

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
The hindwing geometry, aspect ratio, and numerical modeling of susceptible, Bt-Corn- and rotation-resistant western corn rootworm (WCR) wings was investigated. All variants had similar hindwing geometries and aspect ratio (AR: 6-7). These AR values correspond to wings suited to lower altitude flights of a shorter distance. These AR values are characteristic of wings that can carry heavier loads and are capable of precision flying. Numerical modeling using the finite element method (FEM) showed that the Bt-Corn-resistant and rotation-resistant WCR hindwings could potentially resist higher wind speeds with minimal deformations compared to conspecific susceptible WCR. Understanding the physiology and dispersal of resistant WCR enables a better understanding of how these variants spread their alleles across large scale agricultural landscapes. This may have important implications for integrated resistant management strategies for WCR.
