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

Insects utilize seven transmembrane (7TM) odorant receptor (iOR) proteins, with an inverted topology compared to G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), to detect chemical cues in the environment. For pest biocontrol, chemical attractants are used to trap insect pests. However, with the influx of invasive insect pests, novel odorants are urgently needed, specifically designed to match 3D iOR structures. Experimental structural determination of these membrane receptors remains challenging and only four experimental iOR structures from two evolutionarily distant organisms have been solved. Template-based modelling (TBM) is a complementary approach, to generate model structures, selecting templates based on sequence identity. As the iOR family is highly divergent, a different template selection approach than sequence identity is needed. Bio-GATS template selection for GPCRs, based on hydrophobicity correspondence, has been morphed into iBio-GATS, for template selection from available experimental iOR structures. This easy-to-use semi-automated workflow has been extended to generate high-quality models from any iOR sequence from the selected template, using Python and shell scripting. This workflow was successfully validated on
