Brief guide to Drosophila maintenance and husbandry.
Guideline in Molecules and cells, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Drosophila melanogaster is a powerful genetic model organism due to its short life cycle, simple husbandry, and versatile genetic toolkit. Reliable experimental outcomes, however, depend on standardized husbandry and stock maintenance practices that are often underemphasized in research protocols. Here, we provide a concise, practical guide covering essential procedures for Drosophila culture conditions, anesthetization, phenotypic sorting, genetic crosses, developmental synchronization, and use of stock center resources. By documenting the standard methodologies and practices, this guide aims to help researchers, particularly trainees and newcomers, establish and maintain healthy fly stocks and minimize common pitfalls. These standardized practices will improve reproducibility and enable more effective use of the extensive genetic resources available in Drosophila research, thereby enhancing its utility across diverse fields of biology.
