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

Schistosomiasis is a debilitating parasitic disease caused by intravascular flatworms called schistosomes (blood flukes) that affects >200 million people worldwide. Proteomic analysis has revealed the surprising presence of classical glycolytic enzymes - typically cytosolic proteins - located on the extracellular surface of the parasite tegument (skin). Immunolocalization experiments show that phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM) is widely expressed in parasite tissues and is highly expressed in the tegument. We demonstrate that live Schistosoma mansoni parasites express enzymatically active PGM on their tegumental surface. Suppression of PGM using RNA interference (RNAi) diminishes S. mansoni PGM (SmPGM) gene expression, protein levels, and surface enzyme activity. Sequence comparisons place SmPGM in the cofactor (2,3-bisphosphoglycerate)-dependent PGM (dPGM) family. We have produced recombinant SmPGM (rSmPGM) in an enzymatically active form in Escherichia coli. The Michaelis-Menten constant (K
