Primary culture of hemocytes from Eriocheir sinensis and their immune effects to the novel crustacean pathogen Spiroplasma eriocheiris.

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.
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
To investigate the interaction between Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis hemocytes and the pathogen Spiroplasma eriocheiris, a system for in vitro culture of E. sinensis hemocytes with high viability was developed. Following optimization of conditions, hemocytes survived for >35 days. After challenge with the novel crustacean pathogen S. eriocheiris, E. sinensis hemocytes began to develop vacuoles, and then they began to die (within 60 h). Real-time RT-PCR analysis of S. eriocheiris infected hemocytes identified increased expression levels of anti-lipopolysaccharide factor (ALF), peroxinectin (Pox) and clip domain serine protease (cSP) genes. The expression levels of ALF, Pox, and cSP genes in hemocytes of E. sinensis demonstrated that all three immune genes were significantly induced by challenge with S. eriocheiris. Increases in Pox mRNA levels were highest (up to 36-fold) and peaked at 24-48 h post-challenge (pc) (P < 0.05) and lesser increases were evident with ALF and cSP, peaking at 24 h and at 12-48 h pc, respectively. The hemocytes culture method described herein provides a feasible in vitro research model of E. sinensis that can be used to study its immune reactions against various crab pathogens.
