Stability evaluation and validation of appropriate reference genes for real-time PCR expression analysis of immune genes in the rohu (Labeo rohita) skin following argulosis.

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
Argulosis is one of the most unrestrained economically significant freshwater fish ectoparasitic diseases. Proper selection or normalization of the best reference gene governs the accuracy of results of gene expression studies using real-time PCR. Earlier studies in rohu carp (Labeo rohita) have used reference genes without proper validation. Here, seven candidate reference genes viz., acidic ribosomal protein (ARP0), glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, RNA polymerase II (RPo), elongation factor1α (EF1α), α- tubulin (AT), ribosomal protein L 10, and β-actin were evaluated using four algorithms (geNorm, BestKeeper, NormFinder and ∆Ct) followed by a comprehensive gene expression analysis using skin tissue of rohu at varied time points of experimental Argulus siamensis infection. ARP0 and EF1α were found to be the most stable whereas RPo and AT were considered as least stable genes based on basal expression level and variation in expression levels. Validation of candidate reference genes was undertaken by looking into the expression of six immune-related genes using the two most stable and two least stable genes as housekeeping genes in Argulus-infected rohu skin at different time points of infection. An increased expression of immune genes indicated the role of inflammation and the immune modulation process at the site of attachment of parasites in governing infection.
