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

backgroundPurification of peptides offers unique challenges with respect to obtaining the desired process yield and selectivity. Lethal Toxin Neutralizing Factor (LTNF) is a peptide that is known to neutralize snake venom in mice when the peptide is preincubated with the venom prior to intravenous injection. A process for producing highly purified recombinant LTNF has been developed. The process has been modelled in SuperPro designer using laboratory data for a plant capable of producing 10 Kg of purified rLTNF. Economic analysis has been performed for manufacturing 3 ton of purified rLTNF.

resultsThe process developed produces peptide in the form of concatemer that has been specifically designed to accumulate as insoluble inclusion bodies (IB) during expression in

conclusionsThe developed process is able to produce purified rLTNF with 78±2% recovery. The study shows that recombinant technology can be used to produce rLTNF cost effectively and shows potential as a substitute for currently available antivenoms against snakebite.
