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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesPhosphine resistance in insects involves a complex interplay of genetic and physiological factors, which are often poorly understood. Resistance to high concentrations of phosphine worldwide poses a formidable challenge for stored-product pest management and affects global food security. Understanding the genetic basis of phosphine resistance in the red flour beetle,

methodsTo tease apart genetic mutations and the differential expression of genes responding to phosphine intoxication, we set up 16 different exposure tests to compare the effects of phosphine dose, exposure time, and sampling time on gene expression in phosphine-susceptible and -resistant

resultsWe examined the enrichment of gene ontology terms in genes that were differentially expressed and found that the data further distinguished differences in gene expression by insect strain, phosphine dose, exposure time, and recovery from phosphine exposure. The gene-encoding cytochrome P450 9e2 was expressed more in phosphine-resistant compared to phosphine-susceptible insects under all treatment conditions and was significantly higher in expression in resistant insects that were sampled after short or long phosphine exposures. Therefore, this gene may serve as a new phosphine resistance marker in

conclusionsThese data are important to understand the complex molecular changes in insects that have reduced sensitivity to phosphine to develop new monitoring and resistance prevention strategies.
