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

Ras are key components of diverse signal transduction pathways and play important roles in growth and development. To know about growth regulation in Clonorchis sinensis, we have identified a full-length sequence encoding a ras-related protein (rap2) from our adult cDNA library. The open reading frame contains 561 bp encoding 186 amino acids. The hypothetical amino acid sequence shared high identities with rap2 proteins from Schistosoma japonicum and Homo sapiens. Conserved domains of small guanosine triphosphate-binding proteins and characteristic amino acid residues of rap2 proteins were observed in this sequence. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction experiments revealed that rap2 transcribed in adult worm, metacercaria, and eggs of C. sinensis. Recombinant rap2 protein was expressed and purified from Escherichia coli. rap2 could be probed by C. sinensis-infected rat serum in western blotting experiment. By immunohistochemistry, rap2 was localized on the tegument of adult worm and metacercaria of C. sinensis. This fundamental study might contribute to further researches in signaling systems that are related to growth control and development of C. sinensis and other parasites.
