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

Eucryptorrhynchus scrobiculatus is an important wood-boring pest of Ailanthus altissima in China, where it causes a large number of these trees to weaken or even die. To identify genes related to economic traits or specific cellular processes in E. scrobiculatus, gene expression in multiple tissue/organ samples is commonly surveyed, and reference genes are required in this process as a control for normalization. In the present study, 18 candidate reference genes from E. scrobiculatus were identified, and the expression levels of these reference genes were estimated through quantitative real-time PCR. Differences in expression levels were analyzed with four algorithms (geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper and delta Ct) and comprehensively with RefFinder. With the most stable levels of expression in different tissues, RPL13, RPS3 and RPL36 were determined to be suitable for use as candidate reference genes. Moreover, the expression profile of one target gene (glycoside hydrolase family 45, GH45) confirmed the reliability of the selected candidate reference genes. This study provides the first set of suitable candidate reference genes for gene expression studies in E. scrobiculatus, and the findings will facilitate subsequent transcriptomics and functional gene research on this pest.
