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

Rat testes have been examined with a panel of lectins that bind specifically to oligosaccharide sequences having terminal or subterminal beta-galactosyl residues in O-linked glycans, or in the outer chains of complex N-linked glycans: Arachis hypogaea (peanut, AHA), Erythrina cristagalli (coral tree, ECA), Ricinus communis (castor bean, RCA120) and Abrus precatorius (jequirity bean, APA) agglutinins. Pretreatment of sections with neuraminidase, beta-galactosidase and removal of alkali-labile O-linked sequences by beta-elimination allowed the structure of these glycans to be further explored. In spermatogonia and spermatocytes there was little evidence of glycans terminating in beta-galactosyl residues, although these were present at non-reducing terminals as sialylgalactosides. The acrosome contained two subsets of O-linked glycans terminating in sialylgalactosides, while the nuclear cap showed at least two subsets of N-linked sialylgalactosyl as well as O-linked glycans. Spermatozoa exhibited minor changes in the pattern of glycosylation, although the overall pattern of beta-galactosyl expression was similar. Binding to Sertoli cells showed the presence of some unsubstituted beta-galactosyl terminals on O-linked glycans but few such N-linked residues, while terminal beta-galactosides were scanty in tubular basement membranes.
