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

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) of insects are known to be involved in the metabolism or detoxification of plant allelochemicals and insecticides. Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) is a polyphagous moth responsible for severe yield losses in many crops. In this study, two full-length P450 genes, CYP6B48 and CYP6B58, were cloned from S. litura. The cDNA sequences encode proteins with 503 and 504 amino acids, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that CYP6B48 and CYP6B58 belong to the CYP6B subfamily of P450s. Quantitative real-time PCR analyses showed that CYP6B48 and CYP6B58 were expressed only at larval stage, but not at pupal and adult stages. The highest levels of transcripts were found in the midguts and fat bodies of the larvae. No expression was detected in the ovary or hemolymph. Feeding with diets containing cinnamic acid, quercetin, or coumarin did not affect expression of CYP6B48. In contrast, diet supplemented with xanthotoxin dramatically increased the levels of CYP6B48 transcript in the midgut and fat bodies. Larvae fed with flavone had high levels of transcript of CYP6B48 in the midgut, whereas only slightly elevated levels were found in the fat bodies. Effects of the tested allelochemicals on CYP6B58 expression were minor. Hence, our findings show that S. litura responds to specific allelochemicals such as xanthotoxin with the accumulation of CYP6B48 transcripts, suggesting that specific signals in the food control the insect's ability to convert toxic allelochemicals to less harmful forms at the transcriptional level.
