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

As a pathogenic bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has become an alternative to chemical insecticides in commercial agricultural to control forestry pests and mosquitoes. To prevent pest resistance, many novel Bt strains have been isolated. Strain S3580-1 (WGS: VHPX0000000) used in this research and originally isolated from Hainan Qixianling National Forest Park (China) showed significant toxicity to Culex pipiens pallens. Here, using whole genome sequencing, assembly, and bioinformatics analysis, the predicted S3580-1CG_5163 (GenBank Accession No. MK124137) gene-encoded protein was found to share low homology with known toxins designated by the Bt toxin nomenclature system. It was considered to be an ETX/MTX2-type toxin and was designated Epp. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the predicted S3580-1CG_5163 gene-encoded protein Epp shared low identity with other known toxic protein sequences containing Cry-ETX/MTX conserved domains at the amino acid level, but significant similarity at the structural level. In addition, bioassays showed that Epp was toxic against Spodoptera litura (LC
