I guess this could be related to the dialect of the bibtex file. If it is BibTeX, then org-cite-basic--parse-bibtex finds conference and masterthesis for me, and probably anything defined in bibtex-entry-alist. Things that are not in that list would probably be ignored. This is outsourced to bibtex.el.
