Blow Fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Community Composition Across the Georgia Fall Line During Seasonal Transitions.
Article in Insects, 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
Forensic entomologists use insect development, especially in blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae), to estimate the minimum postmortem interval (mPMI). Since insect activity is driven mainly by temperature, understanding geographic and seasonal variation in community composition is critical. In the southeastern United States, approximately 10 blow fly species dominate, generally classified as "summer-active" or "winter-active" flies. We studied their presence and abundance during winter/spring and summer/fall transitions across the Georgia Fall Line (GFL), a major geophysical boundary separating the Piedmont and Coastal Plain. Here we show that community structure was shaped more by regional biogeography and seasonal transitions, than by current temperature. Three species;
