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 excretory/secretory (ES) materials from filarial parasites form an important tool for immunodiagnosis of filariasis. We have raised monoclonal antibodies against ES proteins isolated from the medium incubated with live adult bovine filarial parasite Setaria digitata. The hybridoma were cloned and characterised with respect to the individual proteins of the ES materials. A secretory glycoprotein with molecular weight 200-kDa (gp200) was purified, localised and characterised using the specific monoclonal antibodies raised against it. The immunolocalisation study clearly showed that the protein is secreted out through the pores on the surface of both male and female parasites. The gp200 on reduced sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed dissociation into 11- to 66-kDa 'ladder' polypeptides, and all of them could be identified with the same monoclonal antibody. The gp200 is normally shed along with the ES materials. The screening of human sera samples using the monoclonal antibodies give promising results which showed that gp200 could be a potent candidate protein for the immunodiagnosis of filariasis by the method of antigen detection.
