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

Transgenic crops producing insecticidal Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins have revolutionized the control of some pests. However, the evolution of resistance by pests has reduced the efficacy of Bt crops. Pest resistance to Bt crystalline (Cry) proteins has spurred a shift to crops that produce the Bt vegetative insecticidal protein Vip3Aa together with Cry proteins. With widespread field-evolved practical resistance of the major pest Helicoverpa zea (corn earworm or bollworm) to Cry proteins in the United States, Vip3Aa is the only Bt protein in transgenic corn and cotton that is highly effective against many populations. We generated five strains of H. zea with > 100-fold resistance to Vip3Aa in a susceptible genetic background using F
