A linamarase transgene controlled by heatshock creates a pro-toxin activation system in
Article in microPublication biology, 2025. 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
Linamarase is a plant β-glucosidase enzyme involved in the activation of plant protoxins. It thereby plays a key role in plant defense mechanisms against herbivory. We have taken the linamarase gene sequence from cassava and placed it into the genome of Drosophila melanogaster under the control of non-leaky heat-shock promoter. We show that Drosophila larvae carrying the transgene become sensitive to the pro-toxin linamarin after heat-shock. Furthermore, the sensitivity is elevated in sealed containers and control-larvae sharing such containers with linamarase-larvae are also sensitive, suggesting that the larvae are dying from poisoning with gaseous hydrogen cyanide.
