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

Humanity is burdened by malaria as millions are infected with this disease. Although advancements have been made in the treatment of malaria, optimism regarding our fight against malaria must be tempered against the problem of drug resistance in the Plasmodium parasites causing malaria. New targets are required to overcome the resistance problem. The enzymes of the mevalonate-independent pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis are targets for the development of novel antimalarial drugs. One enzyme in this pathway, 1-deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase (DXS), catalyzes the conversion of 1-deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate to isopentenylpyrophosphate and dimethylallyl phosphate. We demonstrate the use of a step deletion method to identify and eliminate the putative nuclear-encoded and transit peptides from full length DXS to yield a truncated, active, and soluble form of Plasmodium vivax DXS, the DXS catalytic core (DXScc).
