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 macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF)-like molecule, Tci-MIF-1, was isolated from Teladorsagia circumcincta and subjected to detailed characterization. A cDNA representing Tci-mif-1 was isolated following its identification in third-stage larvae (L3)-enriched cDNA population. Sequencing of the cDNA indicated a 348-bp open reading frame (ORF) with the closest orthologue being a MIF derived from the human hookworm Ancylostoma ceylanicum. Messenger RNA (mRNA) representing the Tci-MIF-1 transcript was detected in eggs, L3 and adult stages of T. circumcincta. The transcript was also present, but to a lesser extent in fourth-stage larvae (L4). Detection of Tci-MIF-1 protein in T. circumcincta developmental stages reflected the transcript levels identified by reverse transcriptase-PCR. Using immunohistochemistry, the Tci-MIF-1 protein was shown to have a diffuse distribution in L3 tissue, and in L4 and adult stages, the protein was localized to the nematode gut. A recombinant version of Tci-MIF-1 was produced, and enzymic assays indicated that this recombinant protein and a somatic extract of L3 possessed dopachrome tautomerase activity as has been observed previously in other MIF-like molecules. Neither native, purified Tci-MIF nor recombinant Tci-MIF-1 dramatically influenced the in vitro migration of sheep monocytes.
