Inheritance and fitness of field-evolved Cry1Fa-resistant Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) under laboratory conditions.
Article in Journal of economic entomology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner, is a major pest of maize (Zea mays L.) in North America that has been managed using transgenic maize producing insecticidal toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt) for over 25 years. The first case of field-evolved resistance of O. nubilalis to a Bt toxin, Cry1Fa, was discovered in Nova Scotia, Canada, in 2018. The objectives of this study were to determine the inheritance and fitness of the first field-evolved Cry1Fa-resistant strain of O. nubilalis. Fitness characteristics such as lifespan, fecundity, and developmental time were compared among homozygous Cry1Fa-resistant, homozygous Cry1Fa-susceptible, and heterozygous reciprocal lines of O. nubilalis. Cry1Fa-resistance was found to be recessive based on diet-overlay and tissue bioassays. The homozygous Cry1Fa-resistant strain had 2.4 times greater fecundity, 2 day longer adult lifespan, and 6.5 day longer developmental time than the homozygous Cry1Fa-susceptible strain. Cry1Fa-resistant populations are expected to have 1.6 times greater net reproductive rate than Cry1Fa-susceptible populations. These results suggest that limited fitness costs are associated with field-evolved Cry1Fa-resistance, therefore the spread of resistant populations should be urgently managed.
