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

Human tissue-type plasminogen activator is one of the most important therapeutic proteins involved in the breakdown of blood clots following the stroke. A mutation was found at position 1541 bp (G514E) and the mutated form was cloned into the binary vector pTRAc-ERH. In silico analysis showed that this mutation might have no significant effect on the active site of the tissue plasminogen activator enzyme. Accordingly, zymography assay confirmed the serine protease activity of the mutated form and its derivatives. The expression of the mutated form was verified with/without co-agroinjection of the P19 gene silencing suppressor in both Nicotiana tabacum and N. benthamiana. The ELISA results showed that the concentration of the mutated form in the absence of P19 was 0.65% and 0.74% of total soluble protein versus 0.141% and 1.36% in the presence of P19 in N. benthamiana and N. tabacum, respectively. In N. tabacum, co-agroinjection of P19 had the synergistic effect and increased the mutated tissue plasminogen activator production two-fold higher. However, in N. benthamiana, the presence of P19 had the adverse effect of five-fold reduction in the concentration. Moreover, results showed that the activity of the mutated form and its derivatives was more than that of the purified commercial tissue plasminogen activator.
