Population Growth of Three Stored Product Beetle Species on Alphitobius diaperinus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) Meals.
Article in Journal of economic entomology, 2023. 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
The lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), is an important pest of stored products and at the same time a species with great potential as food and feed that has recently attracted increasing interest as nutrient source. Future predictions show a massive increase of insect meals' production in the near future, therefore, as expected in the case of other durable stored products, insect meals may get infested by insects during their storage. In this context and as a continuance of our previous study on the susceptibility of meal of the yellow mealworm, Tenebrio molitor L. (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), to storage insect infestations, the objective of this study was to test the susceptibility of A. diaperinus meals to infestations of three stored products pests, namely A. diaperinus itself, T. molitor, and the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). The population growth of the three species was evaluated on pure A. diaperinus meal, as well as on A. diaperinus meal-based substrates with different percentages of wheat bran (0, 25, 50, 90, and 100% bran). Our results showed that all three insect species tested were able to grow and develop on the A. diaperinus meal-based substrates evaluated, giving in a short time high population densities. This study confirms again our initial theory for insect infestations during storage of insect-based products.
