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

During the late stages of Schistosoma mansoni infection, adult schistosomes catabolize host erythrocytic hemoglobin. In order to evade the toxic effects of free heme, the blood fluke biomineralizes dimeric heme into an inert crystalline pigment called hemozoin. In the present study, the chemical reactivity of schistosomal hemozoin (SmHz) toward lipid oxidation was examined, and the biological consequences of reactivity were investigated. Mass spectrometric analysis of polar lipid content associated with SmHz identified a variety of primary and secondary polyunsaturated fatty acid oxidation products, including hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids. Furthermore, RAW 264.7 macrophage-like cells challenged with lipopolysaccharide prior to phagocytosis of SmHz experienced a decrease in nitric oxide production as compared to control experiments. The presence of these biologically active oxidation products suggests native SmHz is capable of modulating the innate immune response and may play a potential role in the pathogenesis of schistosomiasis.
