Assessment of housekeeping genes stability for gene transcription regulation analysis of Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) under Spodoptera littoralis nucleopolyhedrovirus viral infection.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundNormalization with respect to stable housekeeping genes is important to facilitate gene transcription regulation research and acquire more accurate quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) data. In the current study, five candidates housekeeping genes of the cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis encoding for Actin (Actin), elongation factor 1-alpha (EF1α), ribosomal protein S3 (RPS3), ribosomal protein 49 (RP49), and Ubiquitin (Ubi), were evaluated as normalization housekeeping genes under Spodoptera littoralis nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpliNPV) viral infection. METHODS AND
resultsThe qPCR results confirmed the expression of all five housekeeping genes in S. littoralis viral infected larvae. The expression profiles of the housekeeping genes showed that the EF1α, Actin, and RP49 had the minimum average Ct values of 18.41 ± 0.66, 18.84 ± 0.90 and 19.01 ± 0.87 in all infected samples, respectively. While RPS3 and Ubi showed the maximum average Ct of 21.61 ± 0.51 and 21.11 ± 0.82, respectively. According to the results of ΔCt and geNorm analysis, EF1α was ranked as the most stable housekeeping gene during infection time-course. While by using BestKeeper, geNorm and NormFinder, the Ubi, RP49, and RPS3 showed the most genes transcription stability. The obtained results were also validated using the Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) gene transcripts in response to SpliNPV infection.
conclusionsThe results revealed that EF1α and Ubi were the most stable housekeeping genes to be used for normalizing S. littoralis gene transcription regulation under SpliNPV infection. These findings, provide a significant addition for gene transcription regulation studies of S. littoralis upon infection using SpliNPV as a bio-agent.
