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

Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) is a high-throughput method to analyze the transcriptional expression of genes. Currently, no reference genes have been described for evaluating gene expression in Brevipalpus yothersi, the false spider mite, a polyphagous that act as vector of the citrus leprosis virus C (CiLV-C), an important citrus disease. This study aimed to identify the most stable reference genes in B. yothersi. The RT-qPCR expression data for selected genes were evaluated from three conditions: different developmental stages, plant hosts and acquisition of CiLV-C. To analyze the stability of the candidate reference genes we used ΔCq method, GeNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper and RefFinder. Ubiq and GAPDH are best suited for normalizing gene expression data in viruliferous and non-viruliferous mites. Ubiq, EF1α and GAPDH are the most stable for different developmental stages. RPL13 and RPL32 are the best reference genes for approaches to B. yothersi in different host plants. Considering all the experimental conditions, Ubiq, EF1α, and GAPDH were the most stable genes. Here we developed an accurate and comprehensive RT-qPCR strategy for use in B. yothersi gene expression analysis. These results will improve the understanding of the biology of the false spider mites and their role as virus vectors.
