Next-generation insect pest management: genetic innovations and emerging biocontrol strategies.
Review in Frontiers in plant science, 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
Pest insects represent a major challenge to agriculture and global food security. Existing insect control methods such as chemical insecticides are under increasing scrutiny because of their environmental impacts, and once-effective methods are facing reduced acceptance due to insect pests evolving resistance and increasing regulation. This review summarizes recent advances in transgenic approaches to insect pest control over the last five years. Transgenic crops and molecular approaches play an important role in integrated pest management strategies. Integration of gene drive and transgene-generated resistance offers new strategies for targeted pest suppression, while novel platforms for delivery of dsRNA and CRISPR have broadened the range of molecular approaches. We analyze the ethical and ecological considerations, including biosafety concerns related to species interactions and gene flow. In addition, we examine the potential and limitations of RNAi and CRISPR, including regulatory challenges and public perception of genetic engineering. Synthetic biology, precision agriculture and good risk governance are central to genetic pest control strategies. Advances at the interface of biotechnology and natural systems offer a pathway toward more sustainable and resilient agricultural practices.
