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

backgroundlong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), as key endogenous regulators, have been reported to be involved in regulating insect reproduction in recent years. However, little is known about their role in the reproductive regulation of insects.

resultsIn this study, we predicted four lncRNAs of potential cis-regulated TOR signaling pathway genes using bioinformatics analysis. They were named MSTRG.5802.1, MSTRG.5803.1, MSTRG.9854.1, and MSTRG.26502.2, and we explored their biological functions in Sogatella furcifera. RT-qPCR revealed that four lncRNAs were expressed in all life stages, with tissues specificity and were highly expressed in the head and ovary of females. Following RNAi treatment, ovarian development was significantly delayed and eggs was reduced. However, hatchability was not significantly affected. In addition, the expression levels of multiple TOR- and JH-related genes, as well as SfVg, SfVgR, and SfVg-like, were significantly decreased. With in vivo JH supplementation, the ovaries were filled with banana-shaped mature oocytes. Fecundity was also significantly higher than that of the experimental group injected with dsRNA alone, but still lower than that of the dsGFP group.

conclusionFour lncRNAs play a pivotal role in ovarian development. These lncRNAs may be involved in reproductive regulation through the TOR-juvenile hormone signaling pathway. Collectively, our findings suggest these lncRNAs as potential molecular targets for developing RNAi-based biocontrol strategies against S. furcifera. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
