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 bovine lactoferrin molecule and relatively long lactoferrin fragments containing residues 473 to 538 strongly inhibited adherence of Streptococcus mutans to saliva-coated hydroxyapatite beads. Each cysteine residue in Lf411 (residues 473 to 538) was replaced by a serine residue, and the mutants Lf411-C481S and Lf411-C532S strongly inhibited S. mutans adherence. These results suggest that the functional domain of lactoferrin that binds to a salivary film lies in residues 473 to 538 and that the region might be concealed by disulfide bond formation between Cys481 and Cys532 in the Lf411 fragment.
