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

The cytoskeleton is a key component of eukaryotic cells, including protists. It is composed of microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments. Here, we review the available information on the cytoskeleton of several relevant pathogenic protists, including Trypanosomatidae, Apicomplexa, Trichomonadidae, Giardia intestinalis, and Entamoeba histolytica. In protists, the first two components, made of tubulins and actin, predominate. Usually, they associate with each other and with other components to form complex structures. Emphasis is given to the following structures: flagellum, flagellar-cell body adhesion zone, paraflagellar rod, sub-pellicular microtubules, cytostome, conoid, adhesive disc, funis, median body, costa, axostyle, parabasal filaments, and clockwise filaments. On the other hand, filamentous structures made of not yet completely characterized proteins form structures such as the costa. Each structure is analyzed using morphological information obtained through modern microscopy techniques and biochemical data.
