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

High adoption rates of single-gene Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry1Ac soybean impose selection pressure for resistance in the soybean looper, Chrysodeixis includens, a major defoliator in soybean and cotton crops. To anticipate and characterize resistance profiles that can evolve, soybean looper larvae collected from field crops in Brazil in 2013 were selected for resistance to Cry1Ac. Using two methods of selection viz., chronic exposure to Cry1Ac cotton leaves and the seven-day larval exposure to purified Cry1Ac on the artificial diet, 31 and 127-fold resistance was obtained in 11 and 6 generations of selection, respectively. The resistance trait had realized heritability of 0.66 and 0.72, respectively, indicating that most of the phenotypic variation in Cry1Ac susceptibility of the soybean looper larvae was due to additive genetic variation. The Cry1Ac-selected populations showed positive cross-resistance to Cry1Ab (6.7-8.7 fold), likely because these Bt toxins have a very similar molecular structure. Importantly, the Cry1Ac-selected populations became more susceptible to Cry2Aa and Cry1Fa, showing negative cross-resistance (up to 6-fold, P < 0.05). These results indicate that Cry1Ac, Cry1Fa, and Cry2A are compatible in a multi-toxin approach to minimize the risk of rapid adaptation of the soybean looper to Bt toxins.
