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

objectiveThis study is to clone and identify B- and T-cell combined epitopes from Em95 antigen.

methodsThe B- and T-cell combined epitopes were predicted using bioinformatic software. Two DNA sequences of Em95-1 (which contained the coding region of one B- and T-cell combined epitope) and Em95-2 (which contained the coding regions of two B- and T-cell combined epitopes) were amplified by PCR. Em95-1 and Em95-2 were cloned into pET32a vector for protein expression. Rabbit was immunized with the expressed proteins of rEm95-1 and rEm95-2 to produce polyclonal antibodies. The immunogenicity and antigenicity of rEm95-1 and rEm95-2 were examined by Western blot analysis.

resultsThe three B- and T-cell combined epitopes were successfully cloned and expressed in PET32a vector. The recombinant antigens of rEm95-1 and rEm95-2 could specifically bind the human serum from patients with alveolar echinococcosis and specifically bind the prepared polyclonal antibodies.

conclusionThree B- and T-cell combined epitopes were successfully cloned with good immunogenicity and antigenicity. Our data suggest that B- and T-cell combined epitopes predicted from the Em95 antigen may be used for the construction of high-valence vaccines and as targets for prevention of echinococcosis.
