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

backgroundIn insects, the olfactory system governs physiological and behavioral processes by detecting various odorous molecules. Despite its economic importance and adaptability, the olfactory mechanism of Antheraea pernyi remains insufficiently understood, limiting its potential for pest management and as a model organism. Hence, we aimed to conduct transcriptome sequencing to explore olfactory-related genes in the antennae, serving as the most important olfactory organ in adult A. pernyi.

resultsBased on the datasets, 1184 differently expressed genes (DEGs), including 484 upregulated and 700 downregulated genes, were identified by comparing the transcriptome profiles of the male and female antennae of A. pernyi. Moreover, 20, 7, 30, 11, and 2 candidate genes encoding odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), chemosensory proteins (CSPs), odorant receptors (ORs), ionotropic receptors (IRs), and sensory neuron membrane proteins (SNMPs), respectively, involved in pheromone perception, odor binding, pesticide resistance, and growth and development regulation were screened, and most of which were expressed in both male and female antennae while the expression levels of these candidate genes varied significantly between males and females. Multiple sequence alignment indicated that the six OBPs exhibited typical characteristics, containing six conserved Cys residues with the sequence of C1-X

conclusionThis study enriches the olfactory gene database of A. pernyi, providing insights into olfactory mechanisms crucial for mating and pest control, with implications for enhancing breeding strategies and ensuring the sustainability of the silk industry. These findings may serve as a theoretical foundation for a better understanding of the olfactory mechanisms of A. pernyi.
