Plant lectins: occurrence, biochemistry, functions and applications.
Review in Glycoconjugate journal, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 87 papers.
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.
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
Growing insights into the many roles of glycoconjugates in biorecognition as ligands for lectins indicates a need to compare plant and animal lectins. Furthermore, the popularity of plant lectins as laboratory tools for glycan detection and characterization is an incentive to start this review with a brief introduction to landmarks in the history of lectinology. Based on carbohydrate recognition by lectins, initially described for concanavalin A in 1936, the chemical nature of the ABH-blood group system was unraveled, which was a key factor in introducing the term lectin in 1954. How these versatile probes are produced in plants and how they are swiftly and efficiently purified are outlined, and insights into the diversity of plant lectin structures are also given. The current status of understanding their functions calls for dividing them into external activities, such as harmful effects on aggressors, and internal roles, for example in the transport and assembly of appropriate ligands, or in the targeting of enzymatic activities. As stated above, attention is given to intriguing parallels in structural/functional aspects of plant and animal lectins as well as to explaining caveats and concerns regarding their application in crop protection or in tumor therapy by immunomodulation. Integrating the research from these two lectin superfamilies, the concepts are discussed on the role of information-bearing glycan epitopes and functional consequences of lectin binding as translation of the sugar code (functional glycomics).
