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 the most common form of post-translational modifications by which oligosaccharide side chains are covalently attached to specific residues of the core protein. Especially O-linked glycan structures like the glycosaminoglycans were found to contribute significantly to many (patho-)biological processes like inflammation, coagulation, cancer and viral infections. Glycans exert their function by interacting with proteins thereby changing the structure of the interacting proteins and consequently modulating their function. Given the complex nature of cell-surface and extracellular matrix glycan structures, this therapeutic site has been neglected for a long time, the only exception being the antithrombin III-glycan interaction which has been successfully targeted by unfractionated and low-molecular weight heparins for many decades. Due to the recent breakthrough in the '-ome' sciences, among them proteomics and glycomics, protein-glycan interactions became more amenable for therapeutic approaches so that novel inhibitors of this interaction are currently in preclinical and clinical studies. An overview of current approaches, their advantages and disadvantages, is given and the promising potential of pharmacologically interfering with protein-glycan interactions is highlighted here.
