Cell death analysis of recombinant mature epsilon toxin on the kidney cell line.
Article in Iranian journal of microbiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesEpsilon toxin is the third hazardous bacterial toxin causing ABS enterotoxaemia in domestic animal. In addition, epsilon toxin is known as a biological warfare agent. The aim of this study was to produce the recombinant mature epsilon toxin to evaluate cell death impact on the kidney cell line. MATERIALS AND
methodsFor this purpose, the sequence of mature epsilon toxin (46-328 aa) in pET28a was cloned and expressed in
resultsInduction by 1 mM IPTG for 4 h at 37°C was an optimized condition for expressing mature epsilon toxin in
conclusionThe recombinant mature epsilon toxin had cytotoxic effects and could induce necrosis.
