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

Cytokine-induced apoptosis inhibitor (CIAP) is a novel antiapoptotic molecule, which is different to inhibitor of apoptosis protein or B-cell lymphoma 2. CIAP was originally identified as a molecule that conferred resistance to apoptosis induced by growth factor starvation. However, it remains to be undercharacterized in schistosomes. Here, we molecularly characterize a novel cytokine-induced apoptosis inhibitor from Schistosoma japonicum (SjCIAP). The transcription of the SjCIAP occurred at all of developmental stages investigated including eggs, cercariae, schistosomula, and adult schistosomes. Functional assay indicated that the SjCIAP could inhibit caspase activity in either human cell lines or schistosome lysates. Our preliminary results suggest that the SjCIAP may play important roles in parasitic living and development by regulating apoptosis, and drug target of SjCIAP might be a potential for schistosomiasis control.
