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

During neurite outgrowth on basal lamina, cell-surface beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase I (beta-1,4-GalT-I) functions as one of the receptors of laminin by binding to N-linked oligosaccharides on the laminin E8 domain. In the present study, it was revealed that in rat injured sciatic nerves, the expression of beta-1,4-GalT-I mRNA reached its peak 2-3 d after axotomy in both proximal and distal stumps, and decreased thereafter as demonstrated by Northern blot analysis. In situ hybridization revealed that beta-1,4-GalT-I mRNAmainly localized in Schwann cells of the injured nerves. Moreover the Galbeta1-4GlcNAc (N-acetylglucosamine) group mainly localized in Schwann cells of the injured nerves by Ricinus communis agglutinin-I (RCA-I) lectin histochemistry. However, the changes in abundance of the Galbeta1-4GlcNAc group in injured nerves were not consistent with the expression of beta-1, 4-GalT-I mRNA. These findings indicate that beta-1,4-GalT-I might be involved in the regeneration of injured peripheral nerves at the early injury stage.
