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

Antimony is an important drug for the treatment of Leishmania parasite infections. In several countries, the emergence of drug-resistant Leishmania species has reduced the effectiveness of this drug. The mechanism of clinical drug resistance is unclear. The aim of this work was to identify mitochondrial proteome alterations associated with resistance against antimonial. A combination of cell fractionation, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and Label-Free Quantification was used to characterize the mitochondrial protein composition of Leishmania tropica field isolates resistant and sensitive to meglumine antimoniate. LC-MS/MS analysis resulted in the identification of about 1200 proteins of the Leishmania tropica mitochondrial proteome. Various criteria were used to allocate about 40% proteins to mitochondrial proteome. Comparative quantitative proteomic analysis of the sensitive and the resistant strains showed proteins with differential abundance in resistance species are involved in TCA and aerobic respiration enzymes, stress proteins, lipid metabolism enzymes, and translation. These results showed that the mechanism of antimony resistance in Leishmania spp. field isolate may be associated with alteration in enzymes involved in mitochondrial pathways.
