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

Antennal and abdominal transcriptomes of males and females of the coconut hispine beetle Brontispa longissima were sequenced to identify and compare the expression patterns of genes involved in odorant reception and detection. Representative proteins from the chemosensory gene families likely essential for insect olfaction were identified. These include 48 odorant receptors (ORs), 19 ionotropic receptors (IRs), 4 sensory neuron membrane proteins (SNMPs), 34 odorant binding proteins (OBPs) and 16 chemosensory proteins (CSPs). Phylogenetic analysis revealed the evolutionary relationship of these proteins with homologs from Coleopterans or other insects, and led to the identification of putative aggregation pheromone receptors in B. longissima. Comparative expression analysis performed by calculating FPKM values were also validated using quantitative real time-PCR (qPCR). The results revealed that all ORs and antennal IRs, two IR co-receptors (BlonIR8a and BlonIR25a) and one SNMP (BlonSNMP1a) were predominantly expressed in antennae when compared to abdomens, and approximately half of the OBPs (19) and CSPs (7) were enriched in antennae. These findings for the first time reveal the identification of key molecular components in B. longissima olfaction and provide a valuable resource for future functional analyses of olfaction, and identification of potential targets to control this quarantine pest.
