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

Plant-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) can be used to reduce the growth of insect pests, including Myzus persicae (green peach aphid), a prolific pest of numerous dicot crop species. In one approach, viruses that have been engineered to carry an aphid gene fragment are used to infect plants and thereby silence target gene expression in the aphids feeding on these plants, a process called virus-induced gene silencing, or VIGS. Tobacco Rattle Virus (TRV) in the model plant, Nicotiana benthamiana, was the first of many VIGS systems that have been developed for different plant species. In this chapter, we describe a method for silencing M. persicae gene expression using an established TRV-VIGS vector that infects and spreads in N. benthamiana. The two parts of the TRV genome, RNA1 and RNA2, have been cloned into Agrobacterium T-DNA vectors for initiation of plant infections. The RNA2 construct is modified with a Gateway-compatible cloning site to allow insertion of aphid genes. When feeding on TRV-infected N. benthamiana plants, aphids ingest dsRNAs that silence specific target genes. TRV-VIGS of aphid genes allows rapid identification of essential gene targets that can be used for the control of M. persicae by this and other RNAi methods.
