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

Background: Venom of scorpions are complex bioactive polypeptides. To gain greater insights into the structural and functional impacts of toxins from Methods: Long chain toxin with four disulfide bonds purified by size exclusion chromatography and reversed-phase HPLC and characterized by amino acid sequencing and molecular weight determination. Results: The primary structure analysis exhibits a neurotoxin named AnCra2 with 7302.24 Da molecular weight and 64 amino acid residues that cause paralysis and lead to death in NIH mice. The LD Conclusion: Purified AnCra2 seems to be a new putative Alpha neurotoxin in homology with the structure of neurotoxins that act on VGSC as a pharmaceutical tool.
