Unravelling the Genetic Basis of Insect Resistance in Maize: Progress and Future Challenges.
Review in Plants (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Maize, the queen of cereals, is generally affected by several insect pests throughout its lifecycle and by post-harvest pests, which affects yield and grain quality, resulting in heavy reliance on chemical insecticides. Although host-plant resistance is environmentally friendly, its polygenic inheritance, genotype-by-environment interactions, the defence-yield trade-off, and pests' ability to adapt quickly make it imperative for researchers to understand the genetic architecture in order to initiate insect resistance breeding programs in maize. This review critically summarises the genetic, biochemical, and physiological baseis of insect resistance in maize, including mechanisms of antixenosis, antibiosis, tolerance, structural barriers, benzoxazinoids, protease inhibitors, and herbivore-induced volatiles and jasmonate-mediated signalling. It also assesses the advancement of germplasm screening, conventional and marker-assisted breeding, quantitative trait locus mapping, genome-wide association studies, genomic selection, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) genome editing, and transgenic
