Crystal structure of a hypothetical protein from Giardia lamblia.
Article in Acta crystallographica. Section F, Structural biology communications, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Giardiasis is the most prevalent diarrheal disease globally and affects humans and animals. It is a significant problem in developing countries, the number one cause of travelers' diarrhea and affects children and immunocompromised individuals, especially HIV-infected individuals. Giardiasis is treated with antibiotics (tinidazole and metronidazole) that are also used for other infections such as trichomoniasis. The ongoing search for new therapeutics for giardiasis includes characterizing the structure and function of proteins from the causative protozoan Giardia lamblia. These proteins include hypothetical proteins that share 30% sequence identity or less with proteins of known structure. Here, the atomic resolution structure of a 15.6 kDa protein was determined by molecular replacement. The structure has the two-layer αβ-sandwich topology observed in the prototypical endoribonucleases L-PSPs (liver perchloric acid-soluble proteins) with conserved allosteric active sites containing small molecules from the crystallization solution. This article is an educational collaboration between Hampton University and the Seattle Structural Genomics Center for Infectious Disease.
