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

Sex pheromone communication is critical for moth reproduction, relying on olfactory genes such as odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) expressed in the antennae. This study investigates how chlorantraniliprole stress impacts the sex pheromone communication behaviors of male Athetis lepigone. We found that chlorantraniliprole inhibited calling and mating behaviors. To uncover the underlying mechanism, we identified AlepOBP20, a gene significantly upregulated under insecticide stress, and characterized its binding affinities with sex pheromones and chlorantraniliprole using a series of in vitro methods. Functional analyses through RNA interference, electrophysiology, and behavioral assays confirmed the pivotal role of AlepOBP20 in male moths responding to sublethal chlorantraniliprole stress. These findings suggest AlepOBP20 may help male moths adapt to chlorantraniliprole stress, offering a scientific basis for developing innovative pest control strategies targeting OBPs.
