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

Previous studies showed that Trichinella spiralis Nudix hydrolase (TsNd) bound to intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), and vaccination of mice with rTsNd or TsNd DNA produced a partial protective immunity against T. spiralis infection. In this study, three TsNd specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) were designed to silence the expression of TsNd in T. spiralis larvae. SiRNAs were delivered to the larvae by electroporation. Silencing effect of TsNd transcription and expression was determined by real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The infectivity of the larvae treated with siRNA was investigated by the in vitro larval invasion of IECs and experimental infection in mice. The results showed that siRNAs were efficiently delivered into T. spiralis larvae through electroporation. Real-time PCR and Western blotting showed that transcription and expression level of TsNd gene was inhibited 73.3 and 76.7 %, respectively, after being electroporated with 2 μM of siRNA-275 for 1 day. Silencing TsNd expression inhibited significantly the larval invasion of IECs (P < 0.01) and was in a dose-dependent manner (r = -0.97941). The mice with infected larvae treated with TsNd siRNA displayed a 63.6 % reduction in intestinal adult worms and 68.8 % reduction in muscle larval burden compared with mice infected with control siRNA-treated larvae. Our results showed that silencing TsNd expression in T. spiralis significantly reduced the larval infectivity and survival in host.
