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

miR-71 has been determined to enhance the efficacy of biological control agents against termites. However, it is not clear how miR-71 functions in enhancing the termite control. In this study, we tested the effects of termite miR-71 on the transcriptional and translational profiles of termites via the commercial product miR-71 agomir, and meanwhile developed a cost-effective method using T7 RNA polymerase to synthesize a miR-71 mimic, comparing the effects of the T7-synthesized miR-71 mimic versus the commercial miR-71 agomir on the gene expressions and infection mortality of termites. Comparative bioassays demonstrated that both miR-71 mimic and agomir significantly increased fungus-induced termite mortality with equivalent bioactivity. Mechanistically, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses revealed that commercial miR-71 agomir modulated the expression of defense-related genes, such as
