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

Glycosylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications. It is clear that the single step of beta-1,4-galactosylation is performed by a family of beta-1,4-galactosyltransferases (beta-1,4-GalTs), and that each member of this family may play a distinct role in different tissues and cells. beta-1,4-GalT I and V are involved in the biosynthesis of N-linked oligosaccharides. In the present study, Real-time PCR revealed that the beta-1,4-GalT I and V mRNAs reached peaks at 2 w after sciatic nerve crush. In situ hybridization showed that at 1 d after sciatic nerve crush, the expression levels of beta-1,4-GalT I and V mRNAs were strong at the crush site, and decreased gradually from crush site to the distal segments. In addition, combined in situ hybridization for beta1,4-GalT I and V mRNAs and immunohistochemistry for S100 showed that beta1,4-GalT I and V mRNAs were mainly located in Schwann cells. Lectin blot showed that the expression of Galbeta1,4GlcNAc group increased at 6 h immediately, reached a peak at 12 h and remained elevated up to 4 w after sciatic nerve crush. In conclusion, beta1,4-GalT I and V might play important roles in the regeneration of the injured sciatic nerve, and upregulation of Galbeta1,4GlcNAc group might be correlated with the process of the sciatic nerve injury.
