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 immune responses and protective efficacy against homologous challenge in chickens elicited by recombinant proteins of a rhomboid-like gene (ETRHO1) from Eimeria tenella was investigated in the present study. When chickens were immunized with the recombinant rhomboid antigen, specific antibody was generated by ELISA assay. In comparison with the PBS group, the expression levels of interleukin-2, interferon-γ, as well as the percentages of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ cells in the group immunized with the recombinant rhomboid proteins were significantly increased (p < 0.01, p < 0.05, and p < 0.05, respectively). These results suggest that rhomboid was capable of eliciting humoral and cell-mediated immunity response in birds. Challenge experiments demonstrated that the recombinant rhomboid protein could provide chickens with a protection rate around 77.3%. Numbers of oocysts and cecal lesion from chickens in the group immunized with recombinant rhomboid proteins decreased significantly, and the body weight increased significantly when compared with chickens in the PBS group (p < 0.05). These results suggested that the recombinant rhomboid antigen was able to impart partial protection against homologous challenge in chicken and could be a potential candidate for an E. tenella vaccine development.
