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 trematode parasites in the family Schistosomatidae (phylum Platyhelminthes) infect a wide range of vertebrates. Three species of the genus Schistosoma are of major medical importance. This unit deals exclusively with the parasite Schistosoma mansoni, which is the species most frequently maintained in the laboratory. Among the far-ranging investigations in the immunology of schistosomiasis are studies in vaccine development, immunopathology of granulomatous inflammation and fibrosis, eosinophil function, and in vivo regulation of T(H)1 and T(H)2 responses. This unit describes maintenance and collection procedures for various stages of the schistosome that have immunologic interest, including infection of mice with cercariae, collection of cercariae, preparation of in vitro-derived schistosomules and in vivo-derived schistosomules, and collection of adult worms and eggs. Included also are techniques for preparing soluble egg antigen (SEA), one of the more commonly used schistosome antigenic preparations. A discussion is given of the basic steps that are important in maintaining the snail intermediate host, and infecting the snails with schistosome miracidia. The unit deals exclusively with the parasite Schistosoma mansoni, which is the species most frequently maintained in the laboratory. Since part of the life cycle of all schistosomes involves a snail host, a description of proper maintenance for the snails is provided. Often, problems in experiments can be traced back to improper snail and parasite maintenance, or lack of attention to detail during mammalian exposure to the infective stage (cercaria) of the parasite.
