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

Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite that shows a unique capacity to infect a variety of cell types in warm-blooded animals. It can invade and survive well inside immune cells, such as macrophages, that disseminate the parasite around the body because of their migratory properties. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of T. gondii cyclophilin 18 (TgCyp18) in the proliferation and migration of macrophages and spleen cells (mainly T lymphocytes) in order to understand the effects of TgCyp18 on the dynamics of the infection. A high dose of TgCyp18 enhanced the proliferation of macrophages and spleen cells in a cysteine-cysteine chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5)-independent way. In contrast, TgCyp18 controlled the migration of macrophages and spleen cells in dose- and CCR5-dependent manners. Our data suggest that TgCyp18 recruits cells and enhances the growth of host cells at the site of infection for maintenance of the interaction between the parasite and host.
