Estimating the efficacy and plume reach of semiochemical-baited traps on the capture of Trogoderma granarium everts.
Article in Pest management science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium, is a serious pest of stored grains that infests more than 100 different commodities. The current wall trap used for monitoring is optimized for the behavior of khapra beetles. In this study, we tested existing and modified trap designs for Trogoderma after release of T. granarium exclusively. The work aimed to evaluate trap efficacy, while providing a template for further attract-and-kill research. Three bioassays were conducted in nine rooms. Four traps were evaluated: dome, wall, modified wall, and the Wilkins interception trap.
resultsBased on our results, dome traps collected significantly more individuals compared to the other traps, whereas the modified wall and Wilkins traps collected significantly fewer individuals compared to the dome trap. Regarding progeny production, the highest number of individuals was found from a release distance of 0.1 m. The highest number of individuals was captured at 0.1 m.
conclusionsThe most effective trap was the dome trap. The plume reach and distance from the trap/attractant source is an important parameter that can affect trapping efficacy in monitoring programs. © 2025 The Author(s).
