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 importance of carbohydrate recognition in biology, and the unusual challenges involved, have lead to great interest in mimicking saccharide-binding proteins such as lectins. In this review, we discuss the design of artificial carbohydrate receptors, focusing on those which work under natural (i.e. aqueous) conditions. The problem is intrinsically difficult because of the similarity between substrate (carbohydrate) and solvent (water) and, accordingly, progress has been slow. However, recent developments suggest that solutions can be found. In particular, the "temple" family of carbohydrate receptors show good affinities and excellent selectivities for certain all-equatorial substrates. One example is selective for O-linked beta-N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc, as in the O-GlcNAc protein modification), while another is specific for beta-cellobiosyl and closely related disaccharides. Both show roughly millimolar affinities, matching the strength of some lectin-carbohydrate interactions.
