Sublethal Effects of the Insect Growth Regulator Novaluron on the Midgut Integrity and Survival of Adult Honey Bee
Article in ACS environmental Au, 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
The insect growth regulator novaluron is a benzoylurea compound that disrupts the polymerization of chitin filaments. It is commonly used to control agricultural pests, particularly during their immature stages, and is generally considered nontoxic to adult insects. However, there is a lack of studies addressing the potential side effects of this insecticide on nontarget organisms, such as pollinating bees. In honey bees, the midgut is the primary organ responsible for digestion and nutrient absorption, where ingested food is surrounded by the peritrophic matrix, a structure composed of chitin microfibrils, glycosaminoglycans, and glycoproteins synthesized by digestive cells along the midgut. This study investigated whether chronic oral exposure to novaluron affects adult workers of the honey bee
