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 G-Protein-coupled receptor Hc110-R of Haemonchus contortus and its orthologue in Caenorhabditis elegans, the latrophilin-like protein 1 (LAT-1), were shown to play a role in the mode of action of the new anthelmintic compound emodepside. C. elegans LAT-1 knockout mutants showed a decreased paralysing effect of emodepside on the pharyngeal muscle. In the present study, the LAT-1 orthologue in the canine hookworm Ancylostoma caninum was identified and named depsiphilin. To obtain more information about the regulation of this receptor and to facilitate phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses of parasitic nematode genes, the genomic structure of A. caninum depsiphilin was investigated. High consistency regarding the position of introns in comparison to C. elegans LAT-1 was observed, providing indication of the same origin of the genes. With a view to possible differences in efficacy of emodepside on different developmental stages, we analysed the transcript level of A. caninum depsiphilin in eggs, L1, L3, male and female adult worms using quantitative real-time PCR. Depsiphilin is transcribed in all five examined stages, but we found a significantly lower transcript level in third-stage larvae. A correlation between these findings and a reduced emodepside activity remains to be investigated.
