Molecular characterization of clathrin heavy chain (Chc) in Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides and its effect on vitellogenin (Vg) expression via the clathrin-mediated endocytic pathway.

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
Clathrin plays an important role in arthropods, but its function in ticks has not been explored. Here, we describe the molecular characteristics of the clathrin heavy chain of the tick Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides and its effects on yolk development. The open reading frame of the clathrin heavy chain (Chc) (Rh-Chc) gene consists of 5103 nucleotides encoding 670 amino acids, which is most closely related to that of Ixodes scapularis and relatively close to Homo sapiens and Drosophila melanogaster. Real-time qPCR revealed that Rh-Chc was expressed at all developmental stages and organs. After Rh-Chc is silenced, ticks did not feed and mortality rate was 100%. Moreover, Rh-Chc co-localized with Vitellogenin receptor (VgR) on oocyte membrane. Immunofluorescence showed that the expression of Vitellogenin (Vg) (Rh-Vg) was also closely related to Rh-Chc. Immunofluorescence showed that the expression of Vg was also closely related to Rh-Chc, Rh-Chc silencing slowed the development of oocytes in tick, and culture of ovary in vitro silenced Rh-Chc, the development of oocytes in ticks also slowed down. Overall, the results of this study indicated that Rh-Chc is a vital gene in the tick R. haemaphysaloides that plays an important role in its growth, development, and reproduction.
