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

We studied the potential role of the Duffy antigen and glycophorin A as receptors for rodent malaria parasite invasion of erythrocytes. Parasitemia increased exponentially after infection with Plasmodium berghei NK65, P. chabaudi, and P. vinckei in Duffy antigen knockout, glycophorin A knockout, and wild-type mice, indicating that the Duffy antigen and glycophorin A are not essential for these malaria parasites. However, parasitemia of the Duffy antigen knockout mice infected with P. yoelii 17XL remained constant from day 5 to 14 after infection, and then decreased, resulting in autotherapy. The treatment of P. yoelii 17XL-infected Duffy antigen knockout mice with anti-CD4 antibody increased the parasitemia 15 days after infection and the mice eventually died, indicating that CD-4-positive cells play an important role in the clearance of P. yoelii 17XL at the late stage of the infection.
