Reliable mass production of Ganaspis kimorum (Hymenoptera: Figitidae), a larval parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae).
Article in Journal of insect science (Online), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), native to Asia, has become a significant threat to soft fruit crops globally. To develop a classical biological control program for this pest, the obligate parasitoid Ganaspis kimorum (Buffington) was approved in the United States for field release in 2021 as a biological control agent. However, challenges in mass production and maintenance of parasitoid colonies have been common. Here, we share improved methods and offer insights into mitigating issues that limit parasitoid production. Additionally, we present a modified rearing protocol using 2-l plastic containers to produce an average of 307 G. kimorum per container. This information is crucial for implementing successful classical biological control programs against spotted wing drosophila with this parasitoid.
