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

Beta1,4-galactosyltransferase-I (beta1,4-GalT-I) is one of the best studied glycosyltransferases. Previous studies demonstrated that beta1,4-GalT-I was a major galactosyltransferase responsible for selectin-ligand biosynthesis and that inflammatory responses of beta1,4-GalT-I deficient mice were impaired. In this study, we investigate the expression of beta1,4-GalT-I in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced neuroinflammatory processes. The results of this study demonstrated that beta1,4-GalT-I was strongly induced by intraspinal administration of LPS. More than 90% galactose-containing glycans and beta1,4-GalT-I were expressed in immune cells. The ELISA assay shows focal injection LPS also induces TNF-alpha alteration. Double staining indicated beta1,4-GalT-I overlapped with TNF-alpha. Moreover, RT-PCR for beta1,4-GalT-I mRNA showed that beta1,4-GalT-I mRNA in microglia in vitro was affected in a dose- and time dependent manner in response to LPS or TNF-alpha stimulation. All these results indicated that the increase of beta1,4-GalT-I might attribute to the effect of TNF-alpha excreting during inflammation. E-selectin, which ligand was modified by beta1,4-GalT-I, was correlated with galactose-containing glycans following injecting LPS into spinal cord. We therefore suggest that beta1,4-GalT-I may play an important role in regulating immune cell migration into the inflammatory site.
