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 asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R) is an abundant, carbohydrate-specific, endocytic receptor expressed by parenchymal cells of the liver. We recently demonstrated that the ASGP-R mediates the clearance of glycoproteins bearing Siaalpha2,6GalNAc as well as those bearing terminal Gal or GalNAc. We now report that glycoproteins such as haptoglobin, serum amyloid protein (SAP), and carboxylesterase that bear oligosaccharides with terminal Siaalpha2,6Gal are elevated in the plasma of ASGP-R-deficient mice. Because of their abundance in plasma, glycoproteins bearing terminal Siaalpha2,6Gal will saturate the ASGP-R and compete with each other on the basis of their relative affinities for the ASGP-R and their relative abundance. We propose that the ASGP-R mediates the clearance of glycoproteins that bear oligosaccharides terminating with Siaalpha2,6Gal and thereby helps maintain the relative concentrations of these glycoproteins in the blood.
