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

As members of the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) family, heparin and heparan sulfate (HS) are responsible for mediation of a wide range of essential biological actions, most of which are mediated by specific patterns of modifications of regions of these polysaccharides. To fully understand the regulation of HS modification and the biological function of HS through its interactions with protein ligands, it is essential to know the specific HS sequences present. However, the sequencing of mixtures of HS oligosaccharides presents major challenges due to the lability of the sulfate modifications, as well as difficulties in separating isomeric HS chains. Here, we apply a sequential chemical derivatization strategy involving permethylation, desulfation, and trideuteroperacetylation to label original sulfation sites with stable and hydrophobic trideuteroacetyl groups. The derivatization chemistry differentiates between all possible heparin/HS sequences solely by glycosidic bond cleavages, without the need to generate cross-ring cleavages. This derivatization strategy combined with LC-MS/MS analysis has been used to separate and sequence five synthetic HS-like oligosaccharides of sizes up to dodecasaccharide, as well as a highly sulfated Arixtra-like heptamer. This strategy offers a unique capability for the sequencing of microgram quantities of HS oligosaccharide mixtures by LC-MS/MS.
