Gene Flooding: Proposal to Flood Invasive Populations With Inbred Individuals as a Form of Low-Tech Genetic Control.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2026. 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
Genetic controls are at the cutting edge of invasive species management whereby modified individuals are released into target populations to induce declines by disrupting their reproductive potential. Yet, such methods are not always feasible without considerable costs and expertise. We propose an alternative, low-tech genetic approach that reduces the genetic diversity of invasive wild populations by flooding them with related individuals from an inbred colony that have been derived from a single ancestral line. We refer to this process as 'gene flooding' and explore its potential use to control invasive mosquitofish,
