RNAi in Pest Control: Critical Factors Affecting dsRNA Efficacy.
Review in Insects, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
In recent years, agricultural crops have increasingly been attacked by more destructive insect pests, forcing modern farming to depend mainly on chemical insecticides. Although valuable, their widespread and intensive misuse has raised serious concerns about environmental and public health impacts. RNAi has been proposed as a safer alternative due to its high specificity, adaptability, and low ecological footprint. So far, dsRNA has proven effective in controlling various pest species, either through topical application or via genetically modified plants. Despite advances, large-scale implementation of RNAi remains challenging due to technical and biological hurdles that contribute to inconsistent performance. Key aspects such as dsRNA design, delivery techniques, and cellular uptake mechanisms still require refinement. Additionally, ensuring environmental stability, addressing biosafety concerns, and developing cost-effective production methods are essential for its practical application. In this review, we explore recent advances in the design and implementation of dsRNA, as well as the strategies that could support the successful integration of RNAi technology into pest management programs.
