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 Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase gene from Wuchereria bancrofti (Cu/Zn WbSOD) was isolated by PCR using degeneracy primers. The complete Cu/Zn WbSOD consisted of 1,032 nucleotides containing 4 exons (477 nucleotides) and 3 introns. The molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Cu/Zn WbSOD gene in comparison with those from other organisms revealed that the gene was classified in the same clade to those of filarial Brugia malayi and Brugia pahangi (bootstrap value at 90). The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of Cu/Zn WbSOD exhibited the similarity to those of intracellular Cu/Zn SOD of B. malayi and B. pahangi. The amino acid comparison of Cu/Zn WbSOD to others revealed that the binding sites and active sites were conserved. The expression of this gene yielded 16.366 kDa in size. After Ni-IDA column purification, the enzyme showed specific activity of 8.5 U/mg and 42.1% yield. The enzyme activity was inhibited when 6 mM KCN was added.
