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

Intelectin is an extracellular animal lectin found in chordata. Although human and mouse intelectin-1 recognize galactofuranosyl residues included in cell walls of various microorganisms, the physiological function of mammalian intelectin had been unclear. In this study, we found that human intelectin-1 was a serum protein and bound to Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). Human intelectin-1-binding to BCG was inhibited by Ca(2+)-depletion, galactofuranosyl disaccharide, ribose, or xylose, and was dependent on the trimeric structure of human intelectin-1. Although monomeric, mouse intelectin-1 bound to BCG, with its C-terminal region contributing to efficient binding. Human intelectin-1-transfected cells not only secreted intelectin-1 into culture supernatant but also expressed intelectin-1 on the cell surface. The cell surface intelectin-1 was not a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane protein. Intelectin-1-transfected cells captured BCG more than untransfected cells, and the BCG adherence was inhibited by an inhibitory saccharide of intelectin-1. Intelectin-1-preincubated cells took up BCG more than untreated cells, but the adhesion of intelectin-1-bound BCG was the same as that of untreated BCG. Mouse macrophages phagocytosed BCG more efficiently in medium containing mouse intelectin-1 than in control medium. These results indicate that intelectin is a host defense lectin that assists phagocytic clearance of microorganisms.
