Prokaryotic expression and functional analysis of the Mb1514 gene in Mycobacterium bovis.
Article in Molecular and cellular biochemistry, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
The ability of mycobacteria to grow and invade target tissues is the key component in the process of Mycobacterium bovis infection. Therefore, analysis of the proteins responsible for cell invasion will assist clinicians in combating bovine tuberculosis. The Mb1514 gene of M. bovis encodes a hypothetical invasion protein (designated here as MbINV protein), whose function has not yet been directly identified. In this study, the Mb1514 gene from M. bovis was cloned, and expressed in E. coli. The recombinant MbINV protein (a single band of approximately 28 kDa) was purified for biological analysis. Our data demonstrated that recombinant MbINV protein significantly inhibited the viability of RAW264.7 macrophages in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05), and induced cell necrosis, indicating that the protein is toxic. MbINV protein infection significantly enhanced the mRNA expression levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and NOS2 (P < 0.01), suggesting that MbINV protein may be one of the virulence factors which directly interact with macrophages and modulate the host immune response to M. bovis. An invasion inhibition assay showed that MbINV-inhibited M. bovis invasion of RAW264.7 cells in a concentration-dependant manner, demonstrating it is an invasion protein.
