Host suitability and parasitism of Trichogramma pretiosum on Galleria melonella and Corcyra cephalonica for the management of fall armyworm.
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 3 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
Eggs of the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella (L.) and the Indian meal moth, Corcyra cephalonica Stalion were evaluated as hosts for mass-rearing Trichogramma pretiosum Riley. The efficacy of the Trichogramma reared on both the hosts were studied on fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith). Parasitoids developed from each source were evaluated on the source host and on the target host, S. frugiperda. T. prestiosum reared on the two factitious hosts viz., C. cephalonica and G. mellonella were able to parasitize S. frugiperda eggs under laboratory conditions. Parasitoids reared on G. mellonella (GF) exhibited significantly higher parasitism rate and lower host larval emergence than the parasitoids reared on C. cephalonica (CF) when tested against S. frugiperda. The results demonstrate that the choice of rearing host influences the parasitism efficiency, host suppression, and fitness traits of T. pretiosum. These findings support the development of optimized mass-rearing protocols and the application of this parasitoid in biological control strategies targeting S. frugiperda.
