Stability analysis of reference genes in Maconellicoccus hirsutus across various conditions including dsRNA treatment.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Maconellicoccus hirsutus is a polyphagous pest globally distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. In India, it is reported to adversely affect commercially significant crops, including grapes, guava, custard apple, and mulberry. Gene expression studies have become crucial for comprehending gene function and understanding molecular pathways, which are essential for developing effective pest management strategies. The RT-qPCR is a highly sensitive technique used to study the expression patterns of target genes. However, it's crucial to use a suitable internal reference gene, which is often overlooked before delving into the analysis of gene expression via RT-qPCR. The present study evaluates the expression stability of six candidate reference genes (28S, ATP51a, β-tubulin, GAPDH, α-tubulin, and Actin) under different experimental conditions (dsRNA-treated condition, starved conditions, different food sources: pumpkin, hibiscus, and sucrose; and sex-specific) using four statistical algorithms like geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper, and RefFinder. The results showed that GAPDH and β-tubulin expression were stable in dsRNA treatment. Reference genes GAPDH and ATP51a exhibited stability in both sex-specific and starvation conditions, while GAPDH and α-tubulin exhibited stability in different food sources. Our findings will aid in enhancing the precision of RT-qPCR analysis for future functional studies of the target gene in M. hirsutus.
