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 trematode liver fluke Fasciola hepatica causes the neglected tropical disease fascioliasis in humans and is associated with significant losses in agricultural industry due to reduced animal productivity. Triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) is a glycolytic enzyme that has been researched as a drug target for various parasites, including F. hepatica. The high-resolution crystal structure of F. hepatica TPI (FhTPI) has been solved at 1.51 Å resolution in its monoclinic form. The structure has been used to perform molecular-docking studies with the most successful fasciolocide triclabendazole (TCBZ), which has recently been suggested to target FhTPI. Two FhTPI residues, Lys50 and Asp51, are located at the dimer interface and are found in close proximity to the docked TCBZ. These residues are not conserved in mammalian hosts.
