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 kallikrein inhibitor-peptide content of Tityus serrulatus scorpion crude venom was purified by Sephadex G-50 and Sephadex G-25 fine gel filtration chromatographies, followed by two steps of reverse-phase column on HPLC. The isolated inhibitor peptide was homogeneous in its N-terminal and partial amino acid sequence, showing a molecular weight of 4.489 Da by mass spectrometry and amino acid analysis. The peptide was tested with rat plasma and urine kallikrein, which resulting in an inhibition with similar affinity to both enzymes, showing an IC50 of 14.3 microM after 13 and 8 min, respectively, using kininogen as substrate on the isolated guinea-pig ileum bioassay. The porcine pancreatic kallikrein showed after 10 min an IC50 value of 12.6 microM with H-D-Val-Leu-Arg-pNA HCl as substrate. In addition, the isolated peptide significantly inhibited porcine pancreatic kallikrein with values in the range of apparent or absolute calculated peptide Ki = 2.5 microM. The inhibitor was heat resistant and stable at pH values less than 5.
