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

Lacto-N-tetraose (Galbeta1 -3GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4Glc, LNT) and lacto-N-neotetraose (Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4Glc, LNnT) were enzymatically synthesized by consecutive additions of GlcNAc and Gal residues to lactose. Lacto-N-triose II (GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4Glc) was prepared first by the transfer of GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to lactose by beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase from bovine serum. The resulting lacto-N-triose II was converted into LNT and LNnT utilizing two kinds of beta-D-galactosidase-mediated transglycosylations. Thus, beta-D-galactosidase from Bacillus circulans ATCC31382 induced regioselective galactosyl transfer from o-nitrophenyl beta-D-galactoside to the OH-3" position of lacto-N-triose II, and commercially available beta-D-galactosidase from B. circulans to the OH-4" position of lacto-N-triose II. These convenient processes are suitable for large-scale preparations of LNT and LNnT. As another method, LNT was directly synthesized from lactose as an initial substance, utilizing lacto-N-biosidase (Aureobacterium sp. L-101)-mediated transglycosylation with Galbeta1-3GlcNAcbeta-pNP donor.
