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 the last few years compelling evidence has been presented for the occurrence of cytoplasmic/nuclear plant lectins that are not detectable in normal plants but are only induced upon application of well-defined stress conditions. Since both the regulation of the expression and the subcellular location indicate that these 'non-classical lectins' are good candidates to play a physiologically important role as mediators of specific protein-carbohydrate-interactions within the plant cell, a critical assessment is made of the impact of these findings on the development of novel concepts about the role of plant lectins. Based on an analysis of the biochemical, molecular and evolutionary data of a jasmonate-induced chitin-binding lectin from tobacco leaves and a salt/jasmonate-induced leaf lectin from rice it is concluded that these lectins most probably interact with endogenous glycans located within the cytoplasmic/nuclear compartment of the plant cell. Several working mechanisms are proposed to explain how these inducible lectins may fulfill an important regulatory or structural role in stressed cells. In addition, the question of the evolutionary relationship(s) between the newly discovered inducible lectins and their 'classical' constitutively expressed homologs is addressed. Evidence is presented that the 'non-classical lectins' represent the main evolutionary line and that some of their corresponding genes were used as templates for genes encoding storage protein-like 'classical' homologs.
