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

Trichinella spiralis actively passes through the epithelial cells of the intestinal mucosa but morphologically, these cells do not manifest apparent damage. The possible activation of apoptotic mechanisms in the small intestine mucosa after infection with larvae and adults of Trichinella spiralis was explored by immunohistochemistry. Sporadic individual cells of normal intestinal epithelium showed activation of caspase-3, increased expression AIF, or Bax. The larval stage of intestinal trichinellosis was characterized by distortion of cells on the villus tips that were strongly reactive to caspase-3, Bax, and survivin antibodies. There was a transient loss of the survivin expression on the brush border of the epithelial cells at 15-h post infection, which reappeared on the fifth day. Bcl-2 changed its normal apical distribution and re-localized to the basal part of the epithelial cells. No significant changes of expression of the selected apoptosis-related proteins were observed in the intestinal epithelial cells immediately surrounding the worms. The presence of Trichinella affects intestinal epithelial cells, but unlike in muscle cells, invading them does not initiate apoptotic factors activation.
