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

Kinetoplastids, the evolutionary ancient organisms exhibit a rich and diverse biology which epitomizes many of the fascinating topics of recent interest and study. These organisms possess a multifunctional organelle, the flagellum containing a canonical 9 + 2 axoneme which is involved in vital roles, viz. parasite cell division, morphogenesis, motility and immune evasion. Since Antony Van Leeuwenhoek's innovative explanation of 'little legs' helping the movements of microbes in 1975, this biological nanomachine has captured the thoughts of scientists. The core structure of kinetoplastid flagellum is embroidered with a range of extra-axonemal structures such as paraflagellar rod (PFR), a large lattice like structure which extends alongside the axoneme from the flagellar pocket to the flagellar tip. The coding sequences for significant components of PFR are highly conserved throughout the Kinetoplastida and Euglenida. The high order organization and restricted evolutionary distribution of the PFR components and structure makes the PFR a particularly valuable therapeutic and prophylactic target. This review focuses on the recent developments in identification of ultra structural components of PFR in order to understand the function of this intriguing organelle and devising strategies for therapeutic interventions.
