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

backgroundHaemaphysalis longicornis is a blood-sucking ectoparasite that can cause diseases by transmitting some pathogens to humans and animals. Paramyosin (Pmy) is an immunomodulatory protein, which plays an important role in immune reactions against parasites. In this study, we evaluated the immune protection elicited by recombinant plasmids encoding H. longicornis Pmy in rabbits.

resultsRabbits vaccinated with pcDNA3.1(+)-Pmy developed high level of IgG compared to control group, suggesting that humoral immune response was induced by vaccination. On the fourth day after fed on the rabbit, some female adults died and the mortality rate from pcDNA3.1(+)-Pmy group (27.31%) was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.0001). Other female ticks were attached to the rabbits until detachment, and the average engorgement weight, oviposition of female adult from pcDNA3.1(+)-Pmy group were 109.61 ± 4.24 mg and 48.39 ± 4.06 mg, respectively, which correspondingly resulted in 36 and 39% reduction compared with that of the control group (P < 0.0001). In brief, vaccination with Pmy plasmid DNA provided an overall efficacy of 50% in immune protection of rabbits.

conclusionsThis study suggested that Pmy DNA vaccine can induce effective humoral immune response and partially protected rabbit against H. longicornis infection.
