Isolation of galectin-1 from human platelets: its interaction with actin.
Article in The protein journal, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Galectins are a family of animal lectins defined by their β-galactoside-binding specificity and a consensus sequence in their carbohydrate-recognition domain. Galectin-1 (Gal-1) is expressed as a non-covalently linked homodimer present in a variety of tissues. Here we describe its isolation from human platelets by a procedure involving ionic exchange chromatography and affinity chromatography on lactose-agarose. Platelet Gal-1 co-purifies with actin, forming an actin-Gal-1 complex which does no dissociate even after treatment with sodium dodecyl sulfate. The presence of both proteins was confirmed by Western blot and by trypsin digestion followed by mass spectrometry identification. By hemagglutination assays we studied the response of recombinant Gal-1/actin, mixed and pre-incubated in different proportions, and then tested against neuraminidase treated rabbit red blood cells. The complex formation was confirmed by confocal microscopy, showing that both proteins co-localised in resting platelets as well as in thrombin-activated ones. These results suggest that endogenous Gal-1 forms an intracellular complex with monomeric actin and that, after platelet activation, Gal-1 could play a role in the polymerization-depolymerization process of actin, which concludes in platelet aggregation.
