IAEA Coordinated Research Project on "A generic approach for the development of genetic sexing strains for Sterile Insect Technique applications"- an overview.
Review in Insect science, 2026. 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
The sterile insect technique (SIT) plays an important role in environmentally sustainable pest management. Its effectiveness hinges on specialized genetic tools called genetic sexing strains (GSSs), which enable the production and release of sterile male insects while excluding females. A collaborative initiative by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), designated as D44003 "A generic approach for the development of genetic sexing strains for Sterile Insect Technique applications," aimed to establish a universal framework for developing GSSs applicable to various pest species. This overview summarizes findings from 17 research studies, including laboratory models and field pests. The studies focused on enhancing genetic markers, genome editing, understanding sex determination, creating temperature-sensitive lethal systems, refining radiation protocols, and improving strain components. Collectively, these efforts demonstrate that a versatile, species-independent approach is both feasible and practical in real-world pest control efforts. This progress paves the way for the broader adoption of the SIT, promising a significant advance in integrated pest management.
