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 C-type lectin dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) is found on the surface of dendritic cells. It can mediate adhesion between dendritic cells and T lymphocytes and facilitate antigen capture and presentation. Many pathogens can exploit DC-SIGN binding for nefarious purposes. For example, DC-SIGN can facilitate the dissemination of viruses, like HIV-1. Alternatively, some microbes (e.g., Mycobacterium tuberculosis) use their ability to interact with DC-SIGN to evade immune detection. The diverse roles attributed to DC-SIGN provide impetus to identify ligands that can be used to explore its different functions. Such compounds also could serve as therapeutic leads. Most of the DC-SIGN ligands studied previously are mannose- or fucose-derived monosaccharides or oligosaccharides with inhibitory constants in the range of 0.1-10 mM. To identify monovalent ligands with more powerful DC-SIGN blocking properties, we devised a high-throughput fluorescence-based competition assay. This assay afforded potent non-carbohydrate, small molecule inhibitors (IC50 values of 1.6-10 microM). These compounds block not only DC-SIGN-carbohydrate interactions but also DC-SIGN-mediated cell adhesion. Thus, we anticipate that these non-carbohydrate inhibitors can be used to illuminate the role of DC-SIGN in pathogenesis and immune function.
