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

Shrimps are believed to lack an adaptive immune system and therefore rely heavily on their innate immune mechanisms to ward off pathogens. Moreover, their innate defense reactions are triggered by bacterial and fungal cell wall components such as lipopolysaccharides, peptidoglycan and beta-glucans. In this study, we used microarray to examine the gene expression profile of kuruma shrimp, Marsupenaeus japonicus, after stimulation with peptidoglycan. Subsequent results show that the number of upregulated genes and percentage of differential expression (21%) was highest at day 1 poststimulation. Differentially expressed genes in day 7 and day 14, on the other hand, were 3.25% and 11.21%, respectively. Sixty-one (61) genes of unknown function were found to have responded outright to peptidoglycan (PG) stimulation. Administration of PG also caused increases in the expressions of crustin, lysozyme, and a few antibacterial peptides, all of which are known to be involved in crustacean immune response. Taken together, our results suggest that innate response in shrimp is triggered instantaneously upon exposure to a bacterial component.
