Molecular characterization of triosephosphate isomerase from Echinococcus granulosus.
Article in Parasitology research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonosis that can be caused by the larvae of Echinococcus granulosus; this disease occurs worldwide and is highly endemic in China. E. granulosus can produce energy by glycolysis as well as both aerobic and anaerobic respirations. Triosephosphate isomerase is a glycolytic enzyme present in a wide range of organisms and plays an important role in glycolysis. However, there has been little research on triosephosphate isomerase from E. granulosus (Eg-TIM). Here, we present a bioinformatic characterization and the experimentally determined tissue distribution characteristics of Eg-TIM. We also explored its potential value for diagnosing CE in sheep using indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Native Eg-TIM was located in the neck and hooks of protoscoleces (PSCs), as well as the tegument and parenchyma tissue of adult worms. The entire germinal layer was also Eg-TIM positive. Western blots showed that recombinant Eg-TIM (rEg-TIM) reacts with positive serum from sheep and had good immunogenicity. Indirect ELISA exhibited low specificity (53.6%) and low sensitivity (87.5%) and cross-reacted with both Taenia multiceps and Taenia hydatigena. Our results suggest that TIM may take part in the growth and development of E. granulosus. Furthermore, we determined that rEg-TIM is not a suitable serodiagnostic antigen for CE in sheep.
