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

backgroundThe efficacy of Bt crystal proteins has been compromised due to their extensive utilization in the field. The second-generation Bt vegetative insecticidal proteins could be the best-suited alternative to combat resistance build-up due to their broad range affinity with midgut receptors of insects. MATERIAL AND

resultsThe codon-optimized synthetic vegetative insecticidal proteins (Vip3Aa) gene under the control of CaMV35S promoter was transformed into a locally developed transgenic cotton variety (CKC-01) expressing cry1Ac and cry2A genes. Transformation efficiency of 1.63% was recorded. The highest Vip3Aa expression (51.98-fold) was found in MS3 transgenic cotton plant. Maximum Vip3Aa protein concentration (4.23 µg/mL) was calculated in transgenic cotton plant MS3 through ELISA. The transgenic cotton plant (MS3) showed one copy number on both chromatids in the homozygous form at chromosome 8 at the telophase stage. Almost 99% mortality of H. armigera was recorded in transgenic cotton plants expressing double crystal proteins pyramided with Vip3Aa gene as contrasted to transgenic cotton plant expressing only double crystal protein with 70% mortality.

conclusionsThe results obtained during this study suggest that the combination of Bt cry1Ac, cry2A, and Vip3Aa toxins is the best possible alternative approach to combat chewing insects.
