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

The Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) of Aspergillus fumigatus has previously been purified and shown to be immunoreactive to the sera of patients with aspergillosis; however, the purification of large quantities of the enzyme for expanded immunological analysis is both difficult and time-consuming. Accordingly, a lambdaEMBL3 A. fumigatus genomic library was screened with degenerate oligonucleotides based on N-terminal amino acid sequence data; from this initial screen a 1,400-bp fragment was identified, labelled, and used to screen an A. fumigatus lambdagt11 cDNA library. A full-length cDNA encoding Cu,Zn SOD was subsequently identified and cloned. The cDNA encodes a protein of 154 amino acids, which does not have a signal peptide. The A. fumigatus Cu,Zn SOD possesses the typical metal binding ligands of fungal Cu,Zn SODs (six histidines and one aspartic acid) and has significant overall homology with Cu, Zn SODs in general. A recombinant A. fumigatus Cu,Zn SOD has been expressed in Pichia pastoris, is enzymatically active, and has biochemical and biophysical properties that are similar to those of the native enzyme. A sheep polyclonal antibody raised against purified native A. fumigatus Cu,Zn SOD was reactive to the recombinant enzyme by immunoenzyme development of Western blots. Sixty percent of serum samples from patients with A. fumigatus infections were reactive against the recombinant Cu,Zn SOD via immunoenzyme development of Western blots, indicating that the recombinant protein may be useful in the serodiagnostic identification of A. fumigatus infections.
