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 salmon louse is an ectoparasitic copepod of salmonids in the marine environment, and represents a global challenge to salmon aquaculture. A major issue is the reliance of the industry on a limited number of chemicals to delouse salmonids on farms, and the high levels of resistance that lice have developed to all of these agents. However, for most of these chemicals, resistance and dispersal mechanisms are unknown. We recently demonstrated that the Phe362Tyr mutation is the primary cause of organophosphate resistance in lice collected on Norwegian farms. In the present study, we genotyped >2000 lice collected throughout the entire North Atlantic in the period 1998-2016, using Phe362Tyr and nine tightly linked SNPs. Our results showed that the Phe362Tyr mutation is strongly linked to lice survival following chemical treatment on farms located throughout the North Atlantic, demonstrating for the first time, that this mutation represents the primary mechanism for organophosphate resistance in salmon lice across the North Atlantic. Additionally, we observed multiple and diverse high frequency haplotypes linked with the allele conveying resistance to organophosphate. We, therefore, conclude that Phe362Tyr is not a de novo mutation, but probably existed in salmon lice before the introduction of organophosphates in commercial aquaculture.
