Establishment of a fluorescence staining method for Schistosoma japonicum miracidia.

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
Currently the diagnosis of schistosomiasis is mainly determined by observing the presence of eggs in host stool samples. Because of the overwhelming number of impurities in the stool, eggs are rarely observed. Therefore, the stool hatching method is used to observe the miracidia in the water. However, the miracidia of Schistosoma japonicum are small and difficult to detect, and missed detection is likely to occur when the infection level is low. In this study, recombinant streptococcal protein G-enhanced green fluorescent protein (rSPG-EGFP) was expressed, purified, and used as a fluorescence staining reagent for miracidia. A preliminary miracidium fluorescence staining method based on antigen and antibody bindingwas established by combining recombinant protein staining with the stool hatching method. The stool hatching method was used to collect the miracidia of S. japonicum, and Schistosoma-positive serum and the recombinant protein were mixed to assess the feasibility of fluorescence staining of miracidia. The miracidia of S. japonicum and Schistosoma turkestanicum were incubated with S. japonicum-positive serum and S. turkestanicum-positive serum, respectively, to identify miracidia species. When the fluorescence staining method was used to observe living miracidia, the miracidiawere labelled by the recombinant protein, and their motility status was not affected.
