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

A protective Mr28K antigen of Schistosoma mansoni, expressed from its cDNA, has been purified in a single step and shown to possess glutathione (GSH) transferase activity as predicted from sequence homologies with two mammalian GSH transferase multigene families. It is notable for its high 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene GSH transferase and linoleic acid hydroperoxide GSH peroxidase activities. The major GSH transferase of S. mansoni has been purified and its subunit is identical to this Mr28K antigen by criteria of Mr, immunochemistry, substrate specificity and peptide sequence analysis. In the parasite, the antigen is present in the tegument, protonephridial cells and subtegumental parenchymal cells. No significant immunological cross-reactivity between the S.mansoni and mammalian (human and rat) GSH transferases was observed.
