Evolution, expression and association of the chemosensory protein genes with the outbreak phase of the two main pest locusts.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We analyze the evolutionary relationships and expression patterns of the large set of genes for chemosensory proteins (CSPs) in the two main pest locusts. We used the available transcriptome and genome data to infer the number of genes using BLAST searches and sequence similarity matrices. Maximum likelihood phylogenies revealed the relationships between these CSPs and CSPs from several arthropods. RNAseq and qPCR allowed associating CSPs to locust phases. Crossing the phylogenetic and expression data allowed us to deduce homologies and conservation of the involvement in the phase change. We confirm that Locusta migratoria has at least 58 CSP gene copies, only five of which lack evidence of expression, and we reveal that Schistocerca gregaria has at least 42 expressed CSP genes. Both species share 21 orthologs, whereas 33 L. migratoria and 15 S. gregaria CSPs seem species-specific. Additional six S. gregaria and four L. migratoria CSPs seem duplications. Although the expression profiles are not especially conserved, seven orthologous CSP pairs share a gregarious over-expression pattern in adult locusts. We thus confirm that the number of locusts' CSPs is large, due to gene duplications during the evolution of Orthoptera, we establish sequence and potential functional homologies, and we highlight specific CSPs that appear to be involved in locust gregariousness either in general or in a species-specific manner.
