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

Parasitoid wasps belong to a remarkably successful group of biological control agents. To ensure effective parasitism, parasitoid wasps have evolved various effectors to modulate host immune responses, such as venom, PDVs and teratocytes. However, little information is available for wasp larval secretions. Here, we applied the Drosophila parasitoids Leptopilina boulardi and L. heterotoma as a study model to investigate the larval secreted components and the potential molecules manipulating host immune responses. We obtained 388 and 30 larval secreted proteins from L. boulardi and L. heterotoma, respectively. These results were consistent with the fact that L. boulardi larvae encounter more severe immune challenges in comparison with L. heterotoma. We further revealed that parasitoid wasps have evolved specialized secreted proteins to inhibit host melanization responses via serpins, as well as a group of metalloproteases may contribute to impairing host encapsulation responses. Our findings provide the evidence that larval secretions of parasitoid wasps are new effectors and further uncover their potential roles in manipulating host immune responses.
