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

Filarial parasites are able to survive for many years in their host, with suppression of the host's immune response being one major survival strategy of the parasite. However, knowledge on molecules that induce these pathways is limited. Additionally, molecules that induce inflammation, thereby leading to severe pathology, such as elephantiasis, are also not fully identified. This article assesses the findings of a recently published analysis of stage-specific excretory-secretory proteins by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in combination with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. In total, 228 proteins with known and unknown functions were identified and compared with genomic, expressed sequence tags and proteomic databases. We discuss the key findings of this article for implications on filarial parasitism, as well as for a potential use for new therapeutics.
