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

Neospora caninum is considerd a major cause of abortion in cattle worldwide. The antigenic domain of NcSRS2 in N. caninum is an important surface antigen present in the membrane of this parasite. In the present study, the Pichia pastoris expression system proved to be a useful tool for the production of recombinant protein. The truncated NcSRS2 gene (by removal of the N-terminal hydrophobic sequence), was cloned in the vector pPICZalphaB, and integrated on the genome of the methylotrophic yeast P. pastoris. Subsequently, the NcSRS2 protein was expressed, purified, and characterized using naturally infected cattle sera and Mab 6xhistag. The recombinant protein NcSRS2 was present in the supernatant of the culture, where later it was concentrated and purified using ammonium sulfate (∼100 mg/ml). An indirect immunoenzymatic assay (ELISA) was performed using cattle sera from endemic N. caninum area.
