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

A new cry1Ab gene was cloned from the promising local isolate, DOR Bt-1, a Bacillus thuringiensis strain isolated from castor semilooper (Achaea janata L.) cadavers from castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) field. The nucleotide sequence of the cloned cry1Ab gene indicated that the open reading frame consisted of 3,465 bases encoding a protein of 1,155 amino acid residues with an estimated molecular weight of 130 kDa. Homology comparisons revealed that the deduced amino acid sequence of cry1Ab had a variation of seven amino acid residues compared to those of the known Cry1Ab proteins in the NCBI database and this gene has been designated as cry1Ab26 by the B. thuringiensis δ-endotoxin Nomenclature Committee. cry1Ab26 was cloned into pET 29a(+) vector and expressed in E. coli strain BL21 (DE3) under the control of T7 promoter with IPTG induction. ELISA, SDS-PAGE, and Western blot analysis confirmed the expression of 130-kDa protein. Insect bioassays with neonate larvae of Helicoverpa armigera showed that the partially purified Cry1Ab26 caused 97 % mortality within 5 days of feeding.
