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

Macromolecules are incorporated by eukaryotic cells through a process known as endocytosis, intensely analyzed in mammalian and yeast cells, but still lacking deep studies in pathogenic protists. Here we present what is presently known on endocytic activity carried out in some members of the Apicomplexa group (mainly concentrated in Plasmodium and Toxoplasma, but with references to Eimeria, Babesia, and Theileria). In most cells, endocytic activity takes place throughout the cell's surface. In apicomplexans, it is restricted to a special surface structure known as a micropore (also called cytostome). Recent studies indicate that several proteins are in the micropore, playing a role in macromolecule uptake from the medium via budding vesicles.
