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

A cDNA clone encoding a homologue of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) receptor interacting protein 1 (TRIP-1) was recognized and isolated from full-length cDNA plasmid library of Clonorchis sinensis adult. TRIP-1 is a bifunctional molecule in all eukaryote, which modulates the signaling pathway of TGF-beta as a phosphorylation substrate of TGF-beta type II receptor kinase and controls ribosome assembly and mRNA translation as p36 subunit of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3. The structural and immunological characteristics of TRIP-1 from C. sinensis (CsTRIP-1) were analyzed by bioinformatics. The complete coding sequence was expressed in Escherichia coli, and the purified recombinant product was obtained. Western blotting with mixed sera from clonorchiasis patients was positive, whereas the normal was negative, suggesting it is a candidate of diagnostic antigen for clonorchiasis. CsTRIP-1 will aid to explore interaction between host and the parasite as well as the mechanism by which TGF-beta controls the development of C. sinensis and participates in the pathogenesis.
