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

In this study, we performed cell-free expression of Plasmodium proteins using the in vitro human cell-free protein expression systems for DNA and mRNA. Malaria rhoptry genes (PFc14_0344, PFc0120w, PY01759, PY00763, PY07482, and PY04666) and a Maurer's cleft gene (PfA0680c) identified from proteome analysis studies were cloned into the pT7CFE1-CHis expression vector. Following a coupled transcription-translation procedure, expressed proteins were analyzed by His-tag staining and by western blotting using protein specific antibodies and nickel-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) for histidine detection. Antibodies against whole rhoptries of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium yoelii merozoites and antibodies specific for the PfMC-2TM protein identified translated proteins. The rhoptry specific antibodies exhibited cross reactivity among the expressed proteins of P. falciparum and P. yoelii. The results demonstrate that the in vitro human cell-free protein expression system is suitable for rapid expression and screening of malaria vaccine candidates and diagnostic biomarkers.
