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

backgroundLeishmaniasis is one of the major emerging health problems worldwide and

methodsGenomic DNA was isolated from promastigote culture, synthesized complementary DNA (cDNA) after standardization of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) conditions. The V-ATPase subunit F gene was placed into plasmid PCI. Then, recombinant plasmids were transformed into competent cells. Cloning was confirmed by PCR, restriction enzyme assays, and finally, DNA sequence analysis, after making miniprep from positive colonies and finally the gene was sequenced. BALB/c mice were immunized subcutaneously three times at an interval of two weeks with designed vaccine. BALB\c mice were challenged with 106 promastigotes of

resultsThe present study proved the existence of subunit F gene in Syrian strain of

conclusionThis study showed that vaccination of BALB\c mice with this gene induced partial protection against Leishmania by reduction of lesion size by 41.9% and parasite burden reduction by 3-log in the dLNs when compared with control group. IFN-γ\IL-4 was 1.6 after challenge test, so the immune response consisted of both Th1 and Th2.
