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

key messageSecond generation Bt insecticidal toxin in comibination with Allium sativum leaf agglutinin gene has been successfully expressed in cotton to develop sustainable resistance against major chewing and sucking insects. The first evidence of using the Second-generation Bt gene in combination with Allium sativum plant lectin to develop sustainable resistance against chewing and sucking insects has been successfully addressed in the current study. Excessive use of Bt δ-endotoxins in the field is delimiting its insecticidal potential. Second-generation Bt Vip3Aa could be the possible alternative because it does not share midgut receptor sites with any known cry proteins. Insecticidal potential of plant lectins against whitefly remains to be evaluated. In this study, codon-optimized synthetic Bt Vip3Aa gene under CaMV35S promoter and Allium sativum leaf agglutinin gene under phloem-specific promoter were transformed in a local cotton variety. Initial screening of putative transgenic cotton plants was done through amplification, histochemical staining and immunostrip assay. The mRNA expression of Vip3Aa gene was increased to be ninefold in transgenic cotton line L
