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

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase), a key regulatory enzyme of gluconeogenesis, plays an essential role in metabolism and development of most organisms. To the wealth of available knowledge about FBPase from Clonorchis sinensis (CsFBPase), in this study, the characteristics of CsFBPase and its potential role in pathogenesis of clonorchiasis were investigated. The Km value of CsFBPase was calculated to be 41.9 uM. The optimal temperature and pH of CsFBPase were 37 °C and pH 7.5-8.0, respectively. In addition, Mg(2+) or K(+) played a regulatory role in enzyme activity of CsFBPase. Both transcriptional and translational level of CsFBPase were higher in metacercariae (one of larva stages) than those in adult worm (P < 0.05). CsFBPase were observed to extensively express in the intestine, vitellaria and tegument of adult worms and ubiquitously in metacercariae. Moreover, CsFBPase was confirmed as a component of excretory/secretory products. Consequently, the translocation of CsFBPase could be detected on epithelial cells of bile duct in liver of C. sinensis infected rat. Recombinant CsFBPase can specifically bind to the membrane of human hepatic stellate cell line LX-2 by immunofluorescence analysis and stimulated proliferation and activation of LX-2 which demonstrated by Cell Counting Kit-8 and upregulation of key fibrosis-related factors, such as α-smooth muscle actin, collagen I and collagen III using qRT-PCR. Thus, we predicated that CsFBPase might be a multifunctional enzyme which played as both regulatory enzyme and virulence factor in pathogenesis of C. sinensis infection.
