Antibacterial and antioxidant potentials of larval extract of black soldier fly,
Article in Biotechnologia, 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
Background: This study was conducted to assess the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of the larval extracts of whole black soldier fly, Materials and methods: The disk diffusion method was used to determine the antibacterial activities of larval extracts of black soldier fly and blow fly. Five concentrations of the methanol extracts of larvae of these fly species (0, 40, 80, 160, and 325 mg/ml) were prepared in dimethyl sulfoxide and tested against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH free radical scavenging assay using four different concentrations, with ascorbic acid as the standard. Results: The disc diffusion assay showed that the larval extracts of both fly species possess strong antibacterial activity against Conclusions: The methanol extracts of larvae of two insect species exhibited strong antibacterial activities against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and moderate antioxidant activities, indicating their pharmacological potential for use as a natural antibacterial and antioxidant source for health benefits.
