Evaluating the new product Norroa™ against
Article in Frontiers in insect science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Introduction: Globally, beekeepers must manage the invasive mite pest Methods: Field studies were conducted to test the effectiveness of Norroa™ during a nectar-flow season and a nectar-dearth season in Florida. In each field trial, 36 colonies were established for testing. Mite infestation rates were measured throughout the trials and mites were assessed for gene knockdown by determining RNA concentrations from the target gene. A final trial was conducted uncapping honey bee pupae and examining mite reproduction. Results: During the nectar dearth, mite numbers started higher (4.56 mites/100 bees) and increased more in control colonies compared with the treated colonies, but differences were not significant. During the nectar-flow, Norroa™ maintained Discussion: Research related to biological methods of control are currently under-studied relative to chemical treatments. These trials demonstrate the promise of a new tool for beekeepers to control
