A calcium ion-dependent dimeric bean lectin with antiproliferative activity toward human breast cancer MCF-7 cells.

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
In this study, a 60.8-kDa dimeric lectin was isolated from the Phaseolus vulgaris cv. jade bean and characterized. The lectin was bound on Blue Sepharose 6 and Q Sepharose and was finally purified by size exclusion chromatography on Superdex 200. Its hemagglutinating activity toward rabbit erythrocytes was dependent on divalent cations, especially calcium ions. Various carbohydrates tested were devoid of any effect on the hemagglutinating activity. The lectin was stable at pH between 4.5 and 9.4 and temperatures between 30 and 70 °C. It did not exert antifungal activity toward Valsa mali, Setosphaeria turcica, Mycosphaerella arachidicola, Fusarium oxysporum and Bipolaris maydis. The IC50 of the antiproliferative activity of the lectin toward MCF-7 human breast cancer cells was 174 μM. It did not inhibit proliferation of WRL-68 human normal embryonic hepatocytes. The lectin was dependent on calcium ions for hemagglutinating activity and possessed a blocked N-terminus. These two characteristics make the lectin unique among Phaseolus lectins.
