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 house fly, Musca domestica (Linnaeus, 1758), is a major threat to public health and food safety due to its ability to transmit numerous pathogenic microorganisms. Despite global control efforts, populations remain abundant in residential areas, livestock facilities, and slaughterhouses, largely due to their high reproductive potential and widespread insecticide resistance. Continuous monitoring of resistance and its underlying mechanisms is therefore essential. In this study, toxicity bioassays were conducted on five strains collected from slaughterhouses using the feeding method. While permethrin, deltamethrin, and bendiocarb were ineffective, thiamethoxam showed variable susceptibility, and fipronil exhibited the highest efficacy. In addition, target-site mutations associated with resistance were screened in a total of 35 samples collected from slaughterhouses and residential areas. A high prevalence of T929I and L1014F mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) and V260L, A316S, G342A/V, and F407Y mutations in acetylcholinesterase (AChE) - the target sites of pyrethroids and carbamates, respectively - was detected. In silico docking of bendiocarb on M. domestica AChE was conducted for the first time and largely confirmed the functional impact of ace mutations through reduced binding energies. Notably, the L1014H (VGSC) and G342V (AChE) mutations occurred exclusively in slaughterhouse samples, potentially indicating stronger local selection pressure than in residential areas. In contrast, the A301S mutation in the resistance to dieldrin (rdl) gene, the target site of fipronil, was absent from all samples. A haplotype network analysis of all available cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences from GenBank, combined with those generated in this study, revealed a predominant star-like haplotype with low overall genetic diversity, likely reflecting the species' high dispersal ability. Overall, these findings characterize the current resistance status of Turkish house flies and provide essential phenotypic and molecular data to support improved resistance management strategies.
