Effect of solid substrates on the production and germination of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, and their infectivity against the malaria vector, Anopheles stephensi (Diptera: Culicidae).
Article in Malaria journal, 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
backgroundThe growing insecticidal resistance in vector mosquitoes is alarming and calls for an alternative, safe, and eco-friendly control strategy. As an alternative, entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) have gained attention. Hence, the present study evaluated different solid substrates to understand the nutrient requirements of EPF for conidial production and their infectivity against the vector mosquito.
methodsEleven solid substrates were tested for the conidial production of PDBC-Bb5a. The conidial load per gram of substrate was calculated using the spread plate technique. The conidial germination rate at 8, 16, and 24 h after incubation was recorded. The conidial infectivity against Anopheles stephensi was assessed with the WHO cone bioassay tests, exposing mosquitoes to PDBC-Bb5a (1 × 10
resultsThe highest number of PDBC-Bb5a conidia was produced on white rice (6.8 × 10
conclusionThe study proved that white rice was a better substrate for the production of B. bassiana. Further multicentric studies are needed to test in different eco-geographical areas to assess the efficacy and persistence in varied environmental conditions before considering it in vector control programs.
