Effect of short time exposure to magnetic on biology and DNA mutagenicity of the black cutworm Agrotisipsilon (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Agrotis ipsilon is a significant pest of various crops, and the widespread use of chemical pesticides has led to numerous environmental issues, including pollution and the destruction of natural predators. Therefore, developing alternative pest control methods is essential. This study evaluates impact of short-term magnetic field exposure on the biological (life cycle duration) and genetic changes in A. ipsilon larvae. Larvae were exposed to a 180-milliTesla magnetic field for 20, 40, and 60 min using a Magnetizing Battery apparatus. The results showed that prolonged exposure significantly extended the larvae's life cycle, with a 23.9% increase observed in the 60-min group compared to the control. Genetic analysis using Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers revealed mutagenic changes, with a polymorphism rate of 74.13%, indicating genetic alterations such as insertions and deletions. These findings suggest that magnetic fields may influence insect development and genetics, offering a potential alternative to chemical pesticides. Further research is needed to explore its broader applications in sustainable pest management to reduce environmental impacts.
