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

Eimeria tenella is a serious intracellular parasite that actively invades cecal epithelial cells of chickens. The widespread use of drugs causes severe resistance to Eimeria tenella. We detected that malate dehydrogenase (MDH), one of the differentially expressed genes, was upregulated in diclazuril-resistant and maduramicin-resistant strains through transcriptome sequencing. In this study, we cloned and expressed MDH of E. tenella (EtMDH). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reactions (qPCR) and Western blots were used to analyze the expression of EtMDH in resistant and sensitive strains, indicating EtMDH was upregulated in two resistant strains at the messenger RNA and protein levels. Enzyme activity was tested through absorbance measurement and the EtMDH activity increased in two resistant strains. Expression levels of EtMDH in four developmental stages of E. tenella were tested through qPCR and Western blot. Invasion inhibition assays explored if EtMDH was involved in invasion of DF-1 cells by E. tenella sporozoites. Indirect immunofluorescence assays investigated EtMDH distribution during parasite development in DF-1 cells invaded by E. tenella sporozoites. Experimental results showed that EtMDH may be related to drug resistance of E. tenella during its development and invasion. EtMDH may be an effective molecular marker for detection of E. tenella drug resistance.
