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

Sexual development in malaria parasites involves multiple signal transduction pathways mediated by reversible protein phosphorylation. Here, we functionally characterised a protein phosphatase, Ser/Thr protein phosphatase 5 (PbPP5), during sexual development of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei. The recombinant protein phosphatase domain displayed obvious protein phosphatase activity and was sensitive to PP1/PP2A inhibitors including cantharidic acid (IC
