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

Cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) has been extensively studied as an immunogen, adjuvant, and inducer of oral tolerance in many investigations. Production of CTB has been carried out in the bacterial, plant, insect and yeast expression systems. In this study the expression of the CTB containing a 6XHis-tagged was performed by Escherichia coli (E.coli) M15. The yield of purified pentameric recombinant CTB was about 1 mg/l. Western blot analysis demonstrated that the recombinant CTB was antigenically active. In addition, GM1-ganglioside ELISA showed that recombinant CTB binds to GM1-gangelioside receptor, confirming disulfide bond formation and proper folding of the recombinant protein in E.coli. Overall, in regard to the vast applications of CTB in medicine, this bacterial expression system will be a fast, cost-effective and simple system for production of pentameric CTB and CTB conjugated proteins.
