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

Energy metabolism is a highly conserved process that balances generation of cellular energy and maintenance of redox homeostasis. It consists of five interconnected pathways: glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, pentose phosphate, trans-sulfuration, and NAD+ biosynthesis pathways. Environmental stress rewires cellular energy metabolism. Type-2 diabetes is a well-studied energy metabolism rewiring state in human pancreatic β-cells where glucose metabolism is uncoupled from insulin secretion. The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae (Koch), exhibits a remarkable ability to adapt to environmental stress. Upon transfer to unfavourable plant hosts, mites experience extreme xenobiotic stress that dramatically affects their survivorship and fecundity. However, within 25 generations, mites adapt to the xenobiotic stress and restore their fitness. Mites' ability to withstand long-term xenobiotic stress raises a question of their energy metabolism states during host adaptation. Here, we compared the transcriptional responses of five energy metabolism pathways between host-adapted and non-adapted mites while using responses in human pancreatic islet donors to model these pathways under stress. We found that non-adapted mites and human pancreatic β-cells responded in a similar manner to host plant transfer and diabetogenic stress respectively, where redox homeostasis maintenance was favoured over energy generation. Remarkably, we found that upon host-adaptation, mite energy metabolic states were restored to normal. These findings suggest that genes involved in energy metabolism can serve as molecular markers for mite host-adaptation.
