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 literature contains several reviews on lectins in general, covering mainly those from plants and invertebrates. However, the sialic acid binding lectins have not been reviewed so far. Considering the importance of sialic acids in cell sociology, lectins which specifically recognize terminal sialic acid residues are potentially useful as analytical tools in studying the biological functions of sialoglycoconjugates. These lectins, along with monoclonal antibodies raised against sialoglycoconjugates, have been used in the detection, affinity purification, cytochemical localization and quantitation of such glycoconjugates. In this review the main emphasis has been placed on the occurrence, general purification procedures, macromolecular properties, sugar specificities and applications of these lectins.
