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

Acid phosphatases are putative virulence factors in different pathogenic microorganisms. Acid phosphatases can also inhibit the respiratory burst of human neutrophils. In Cryptosporidium parvum, a protozoan parasitic, the study of enzymes is limited. In this paper, we report the presence of a membrane-bound acid phosphatase activity in C. parvum oocysts. The enzymatic activity was inhibited by protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors such as sodium orthovanadate, ammonium molybdate, and sodium tungstate and was not affected by protein serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitors such as okadaic acid and calyculin. Antibodies against the catalytic domain of human placental PTPase 1B cross-reacted with two molecules of 30 and 31 kDa present in membrane fraction of a Cryptosporidium oocyst homogenate. This is the first demonstration of acid phosphatase activity in Cryptosporidium.
