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

Microcystins (MCs) in freshwater and marine waters released by toxin-producing cyanobacteria have negative impacts to the aquatic environment. This study aimed to investigate the effect of pure microcystin-LR on activity and transcript level of immune-related enzymes in the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. After exposed to varying concentrations of pure microcystin-LR (MC-LR) for 30 days, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), lysozyme (LZM), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), peroxidase (POD), acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and transcript level of cMn-sod, lzm, gpx were investigated in the hepatopancreas of white shrimp (L. vannamei). Immune-related enzyme activities responded differently to MC-LR exposure. SOD, GPx, and POD activity in the hepatopancreas were activated in a concentration-dependent manner while LZM activity was significantly inhibited in the treatment groups. ACP and AKP activity showed an increase, followed by a decrease. The transcript levels of cMn-sod, lzm, and gpx were consistent with changes in their encoding enzyme activity. These results demonstrated that sub-chronical exposure to MC-LR induced the alteration of immune-related enzymes and corresponding genes in the hepatopancreas, which may help explain the presence of detoxification mechanisms in crustaceans and how they were protected from MC-LR stress for a long period of time.
