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 detailed understanding of the interaction between the highly variant Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane proteins 1 (PfEMP1) and their human binding partners is essential to explain their roles in disease development in malaria, as well as to understand how antibodies can inhibit these interactions and how the parasite manages to evade such an immune response. This chapter focuses on using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) as a reproducible, high-throughput method to quantitatively characterize these interactions. We describe how to utilize protein A or A/G and streptavidin for protein immobilization on SPR sensor chips and provide instructions on how to biotinylate proteins for this purpose and how to use SPR for binding competition assays. Since these experiments rely on recombinant proteins, we also present a method to verify their structural integrity using circular dichroism spectroscopy.
