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

A plant emits diverse volatile compounds and communicates with other organisms at different trophic levels. Hot pepper, Capsicum annuum, leaves produced different compositions of 41 organic compounds upon an infestation by the western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis. These compounds induced a non-preference behavior to the thrips while they attracted a natural enemy, Orius laevigatus. Among the differentially emitted compounds, Z-3-methyl hexenoate (MeH) and linalool repelled the herbivore but attracted the predator. MeH or linalool biosynthesis was suppressed by virus-induced gene silencing of hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) or linalool synthase (LS) expression in the hot pepper and led to significant malfunction in the tri-trophic communication. This communication was mediated by jasmonic acid (JA), but not salicylic acid, signal in the hot pepper. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria also induced the antixenosis of hot peppers through JA signaling. Hot peppers resistant against the thrips were positively correlated with HPL or LS expression levels.
