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

RNA interference is an eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides, yet its efficacy in lepidopterans like Spodoptera frugiperda (S. frugiperda) is limited by poor uptake. Here, we report on ZIF-8 polydopamine nanoparticles that protect dsRNA against enzymatic degradation and active the endocytic/phagosome pathways for increased uptake. Furthermore, the uptake of nano-enabled dsRNA induces the overgrowth of Serratia marcescens, this reduces the S. frugiperda reactive oxygen species (ROS) immune response, increasing the effects of plant's natural defenses, further inhibiting Enteroccous mundtii growth. This work shows the synergistic potential of nanoparticles for influencing the gut bacteria to prevent resistance mechanisms and for RNAi delivery for pest management.
