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

FhSAP-2 is a novel member of the Fasciola hepatica saposin-like protein family that induces protection in rabbits against a challenge infection. We investigated the presence of lineal B-cell epitopes within this protein using a set of overlapping synthetic peptides. Peptides were tested in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays against sera from rabbits infected with F. hepatica. Two dominant epitopes were identified, which were also highly reactive with sera from mice infected with Schistosoma mansoni. These peptides may be suitable to incorporate into a polyepitope-based vaccine formulation against F. hepatica.
