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

Plasmodium falciparum is an intracellular parasite of human red blood cells (RBCs). Like many other intracellular parasites, P. falciparum resides and develops within a parasitophorous vacuole which is bound by a membrane that separates the host cell cytoplasm from the parasite surface. Some parasite proteins are secreted into the vacuolar space and others are secreted, by an as yet poorly defined pathway, into the RBC cytosol. The transport of proteins from the parasite has been followed mainly using morphological methods. In search of an experimental system that would allow (i) dissection of the individual steps involved in transport from the parasite surface into the RBC cytosol, and (ii) an assessment of the molecular requirements for the process at the erythrocytic side of the vacuolar membrane, we permeabilized infected RBCs with the pore-forming protein streptolysin O using conditions which left the vacuole intact. The distribution of two parasite proteins which served as markers for the vacuolar space and the RBC cytosol respectively was analysed morphologically and biochemically. In permeabilized RBCs the two marker proteins were sorted to the same compartments as in intact RBCs. The protein which was destined for the RBC cytosol traversed the vacuolar space before it was translocated across the vacuolar membrane. Protein transport could be arrested in the vacuole by removing the RBC cytosol. Translocation across the vacuolar membrane required ATP and a protein source at the erythrocytic face of the membrane, but it was independent of the intracellular ionic milieu of the RBC.
