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

backgroundSpodoptera litura is a harmful pest that feeds on more than 80 species of plants, and can be infected and killed by Spodoptera litura nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpltNPV). SpltNPV-C3 is a type C SpltNPV clone, that was observed and collected in Japan. Compared with type A or type B SpltNPVs, SpltNPV-C3 can cause the rapid mortality of S. litura larvae.

methodsIn this study, occlusion bodies (OBs) and occlusion-derived viruses (ODVs) of SpltNPV-C3 were purified, and OBs were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). ODVs were observed under a transmission electron microscope (TEM).

resultsBoth OBs and ODVs exhibit morphological characteristics typical of nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPVs).The genome of SpltNPV-C3 was sequenced and analyzed; the total length was 148,634 bp (GenBank accession 780,426,which was submitted as SpltNPV-II), with a G + C content of 45%. A total of 149 predicted ORFs were found. A phylogenetic tree of 90 baculoviruses was constructed based on core baculovirus genes. LC‒MS/MS was used to analyze the proteins of SpltNPV-C3; 34 proteins were found in the purified ODVs, 15 of which were core proteins. The structure of the complexes formed by per os infectivity factors 1, 2, 3 and 4 (PIF-1, PIF-2, PIF-3 and PIF-4) was predicted with the help of the AlphaFold multimer tool and predicted conserved sequences in PIF-3. SpltNPV-C3 is a valuable species because of its virulence, and the analysis of its genome and proteins in this research will be beneficial for pest control efforts.
