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

It is well known that cell surface carbohydrates play a role in cell-cell adhesion and communication. LewisX glycosphingolipids form microdomains on cell surfaces. Homotypic and calcium-mediated LewisX-LewisX (LeX-LeX) interactions were proposed to be responsible for the initial steps of cell adhesion, and to mediate embryogenesis and metastasis. Various techniques have been used to investigate such interactions, but little information is available on the geometry and the mechanism of dimerisation. To better understand these interactions, a new molecular model was developed to simulate homotypic interactions in explicit solvent with and without calcium ions. Accurate analysis of both trajectories yielded valuable information about the energetics of LeX-LeX dimerisation. Detailed interpretation of the hydrogen bond network and the presence of calcium ions along the trajectory provide valuable insights into the role of calcium ions in this carbohydrate-carbohydrate interaction.
