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

Transgenic Bt insect-resistant plants are highly resistant to Lepidoptera stockpile pest Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella Hübner (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), a storage pest. Habrobracon hebetor (Say) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), which is an ectoparasitic wasp of Indian meal moth, may be exposed to the Bt protein through the food chain. In the current study, high dose of Cry1C protein was injected into the hemolymph of P. interpunctella by microinjection, and the hemolymph was used as the carrier to deliver Bt protein to the H. hebetor. Using this method, we developed a new Tier-1 risk assessment system for ectoparasitoid, successfully avoided "host/prey quality-mediated effect," and improve the accuracy of safety evaluation. Results showed that injected Cry1C was stable and bioactive in the hemolymph of P. interpunctella parasitized by H. hebetor, and high dose of Cry1C has no negative impacts on egg hatching rate, developmental duration from egg to adult, survival egg to adult, pupa weight, adults weight (male and female), adult longevity and reproduction, and activity of stress-related enzymes of H. hebetor. However, the hemolymph of P. interpunctella injected into Galanthus nivalis L. agglutinin (the positive control) had significant negative impact on these biological parameters of H. hebetor. The results indicate that H. hebetor are not sensitive to Cry1C protein at the tested concentration and there were no detrimental effects of Cry1C protein on any biological parameters tested in the present study. More importantly, we constructed a new efficient and simple system for the biosafety assessment on the larvae of ectoparasitoid of target pest.
