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

Increasing evidence shows that 14-3-3 proteins are involved in many biology events in addition to signal transduction. Extensive investigations on structural and biochemical features of these signaling molecules have implied their importance in the biological process. In the present study, we have identified and characterized the 14-3-3 epsilon (Cs14-3-3) in Clonorchis sinensis that causes human clonorchiasis. Recombinant protein was expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF. Immunoblot results revealed that Cs14-3-3 was a component of excretory/secretory products. Ligand blot assay indicated that 14-3-3 epsilon could bind C. sinensis MAPKAPK 2 in a nonphosphorylation-dependent manner. This protein could be detected at four stages of the life cycle by RT-PCR experiments and immunolocalization showed that Cs14-3-3 was extensively distributed in C. sinensis, especially at the outer surface and the sucker of adult worm and cyst wall of metacercaria. Taken together, 14-3-3 epsilon might play some roles in the development of the parasites. In addition, Cs14-3-3 epsilon should be addressed for the diagnostic value in C. sinensis infection in consideration of high sensitivity and specificity. As an immune stimulus, C. sinensis 14-3-3 epsilon was found to provoke a Th1/Th2 balanced immune response by inducing high levels of both IgG1 and IgG2a. Recombinant Cs14-3-3 conferred effective protection both in worm reduction rate and egg reduction rate, suggesting that the signaling molecule Cs14-3-3 was a promising vaccine candidate against C. sinensis infection.
