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

The complete genome sequence of a baculovirus isolated from larvae of the Virginia pine sawfly, Neodiprion pratti pratti, was determined from sequence data generated from two isolates of this virus obtained from virus-killed larvae harvested during a N. pratti pratti outbreak in Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina, USA, during the 1950s. Sequence assembly and analysis of this virus, Neodiprion pratti pratti nucleopolyhedrovirus (NeppNPV), revealed a circular genome of 81,658 bp. BLASTp queries with the 89 ORFs annotated for NeppNPV indicated a close relationship with Neodiprion lecontei nucleopolyhedrovirus (NeleNPV). Pairwise nucleotide distances and phylogeny determined from alignments of baculovirus core gene homologs indicated that NeppNPV and NeleNPV are both members of species Gammabaculovirus nelecontei. NeppNPV and NeleNPV were distinguishable by differences in ORF content and indels suggestive of intramolecular recombination. Overlapping geographic ranges and shared host plants for N. pratti pratti and N. lecontei suggest the potential for cross-infections of larvae of these two sawfly species with NeppNPV and NeleNPV.
