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

beta-1,4-Galactosyltransferase-I (beta-1,4-GalT-I) which is one of the best-studied glycosyltransferases, plays a key role in the synthesis of selectin ligands such as sialy Lewis (sLe( x )) and sulfated sLe( x ). Previous studies showed that inflammatory responses of beta-1,4-GalT-I-deficient mice were impaired because of the defect in selectin-ligand biosynthesis. However, the expression of beta-1,4-GalT-I during inflammation and its biological function remains to be elucidated. Real-time PCR showed that intraperitoneal administration of LPS strongly induced beta-1,4-GalT-I mRNA expression in the lung, heart, liver, spleen, kidney, lymph node, hippocampus, and testis, as well as in the cerebral cortex. In the rat lung, liver and testis, LPS stimulation of beta-1,4-GalT-I mRNA expression is time-dependent and biphasic. Lectin-fluorescent staining with RCA-I showed that LPS induced expression of galactose-containing glycans in rat lung and liver to the higher lever. Morphology analysis observed that galactose-containing glycans and beta-1,4-GalT-I mRNA was mostly expressed in neutrophils, macrophages and endothelial cells. These findings indicated that beta-1,4-GalT-I may play an important role in the inflammation reaction.
