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

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of seven-transmembrane domain proteins that exist in plants and animals, playing critical physiological functions through intracellular cascades. Previous studies revealed an important regulation pathway of GPCR/Guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G-protein)/Adenylyl Cyclase (AC)/cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) in the insecticide resistance and regulation of resistance-related P450 gene expression in highly resistant southern house mosquitoes, Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae). However, the function of this regulation pathway in field-collected and laboratory-susceptible mosquitoes is still unknown. In the current study, we characterized the function of each effector (GPCR, G-protein, AC, and PKA) in this GPCR intracellular pathway in both field-collected and laboratory Cx. quinquefasciatus strains, showing that knockdown of the expression of each effector gene can cause 1) decreased expression of their downstream respective genes and 2) increased sensitivity of the mosquitoes to permethrin insecticide. These results, together with our previous findings, strongly suggest the universal function of the GPCR-regulation cascade in the mosquito's sensitivity to insecticides and its regulation of resistance development through P450-mediated detoxification.
