1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 ecdysteroid UDP-glycosyltransferase (egt) gene of Epinotia aporema granulovirus (EpapGV) was cloned sequenced and its biological activity was assessed. It encodes a protein of 446 amino acids. Direct evidence that the cloned gene encodes an active EGT protein was obtained by transient expression assays in insect cells. The upstream untranslated region of the egt gene exhibits several consensus early promoter elements. Accordingly, the gene is expressed early upon infection of Epinotia aporema larvae and the EGT activity remains high until later times post infection. Sequence analyses indicate the presence of clusters of amino acid residues conserved among all the baculoviral EGTs, although their relation with proper protein folding, ligand binding and catalytic activity remain to be assessed. Phylogenetic trees consistently cluster the granulovirus EGTs separating them clearly from the nucleopolyhedroviruses.
