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

The severe Asiatic form of huanglongbing (HLB), caused by "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" (CLas), threatens global citrus production via the citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri. Culturing challenges of CLas necessitate reducing D. citri populations for disease management. CLas boosts the fecundity of CLas-positive (CLas+) D. citri and fosters its own proliferation by modulating the insect host's juvenile hormone (JH), but the intricate endocrine regulatory mechanisms remain elusive. Here, it is reported that the D. citri ecdysis-triggering hormone (DcETH) and its receptor DcETHR play pivotal roles in the reciprocal benefits between CLas and D. citri within the ovaries, influencing energy metabolism and reproductive development in host insects; miR-210, negatively regulates DcETHR expression, contributing to this symbiotic interaction. CLas infection reduces 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) levels and stimulates DcETH release, elevating JH production via DcETHR, enhancing fecundity and CLas proliferation. Furthermore, circulating JH levels suppress 20E production in CLas+ ovaries. Collectively, the orchestrated functional interplay involving 20E, ETH, and JH increases energy metabolism and promotes the fecundity of CLas+ D. citri and CLas proliferation. These insights not only broaden the knowledge of how plant pathogens manipulate the reproductive behavior of insect hosts but also offer novel targets and strategies for combatting HLB and D. citri.
