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

backgroundCassava brown streak disease (CBSD) has a viral aetiology and is caused by viruses belonging to the genus Ipomovirus (family Potyviridae), Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV). Molecular and serological methods are available for detection, discrimination and quantification of cassava brown streak viruses (CBSVs) in infected plants. However, precise determination of the viral RNA localization in infected host tissues is still not possible pending appropriate methods.

resultsWe have developed an in situ hybridization (ISH) assay based on RNAscope® technology that allows the sensitive detection and localization of CBSV RNA in plant tissues. The method was initially developed in the experimental host Nicotiana rustica and was then further adapted to cassava. Highly sensitive and specific detection of CBSV RNA was achieved without background and hybridization signals in sections prepared from non-infected tissues. The tissue tropism of CBSV RNAs appeared different between N. rustica and cassava.

conclusionsThis study provides a robust method for CBSV detection in the experimental host and in cassava. The protocol will be used to study CBSV tropism in various cassava genotypes, as well as CBSVs/cassava interactions in single and mixed infections.
