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

We planned the production of human glycosyltransferases in yeast for the enzymatic synthesis of various sugar chains. More than 160 genes encoding various glycosyltransferases were prepared as N-terminal transmembrane region truncated forms by PCR and were inserted into the entry vector of Invitrogen Ltd's Gateway system. About fifty glycosyltransferases were chosen for the synthesis of human type oligosaccharides, and expressed as two different forms in yeast. One is a soluble form, which is secreted into the culture medium by methylotrophic yeast, and the other is an immobilized form, which is displayed at the budding yeast cell wall as a fusion protein with Pir protein. To date, in both systems, some sialyltranferases and fucosyltransferases have been produced as active forms, indicating the potential usefulness of these systems for the enzymatic synthesis of various types of human sugar chains attached to proteins and lipids.
