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 distribution of N-linked glycans in rat testis has been probed using a panel of lectins derived from Galanthus nivalis (snowdrop, GNA), Canavalia ensiformis (jack bean, Con A), Lens culinaris (lentil, LCA), Pisum sativum (garden pea, PSA) and Phaseolus vulgaris, erythro- and leucoagglutinins (kidney bean, ePHA and lPHA). Several classes of N-linked glycan were identified in the spermatogenic series, and during differentiation into spermatozoa they altered in both their pattern of distribution and relative abundance. A population of tetra-antennary, non-bisected, complex glycans, detected by lPHA, was lost during the transition from spermatogonia to spermatocytes, while high-mannose structures were acquired; these were most abundant in spermatocytes, as were bi- and tri-antennary complex, non-bisected glycans, the latter becoming increasingly abundant on acrosomes and spermatozoa. Their bisected counterparts were more generally expressed throughout spermatogenic cells, although marked localization onto acrosomes and nuclear caps was again seen. Transition from spermatocytes to spermatids involved mainly changes of the acrosomal granule and nuclear cap, which were carried through to the final stages of differentiation. Sertoli cell surfaces and cytoplasmic granules showed a high level of N-glycan expression.
