First evidence of the interaction between deleted in malignant brain tumor 1 and galectin-3 in the mammalian oviduct.

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
The oviduct supports the transport and final maturation of gametes, and harbors fertilization and early embryo development. The oviductal epithelium is responsible for providing the correct environment for these processes. Deleted in malignant brain tumor 1 (DMBT1) is expressed by multiple organisms and several cell types, and the interaction of the rabbit ortholog of DMBT1 with galectin-3 (gal-3) modulates the polarity of epithelial cells. This interaction has not yet been shown in locations other than rabbit kidney and human-cultured endothelial cells. DMBT1 and gal-3 also protect epithelial layers from pathogens and trauma, and are innate immunity components. DMBT1 has been detected in the porcine oviduct, and gal-3 has been reported in the Fallopian tube and in the cow oviduct. Interaction between both proteins would show a probable physiological function in the female reproductive tract. This work describes the presence and co-localization of DMBT1 and gal-3 mainly in the apical region of the epithelial cells of the Fallopian tube and the porcine oviduct, and co-immunoprecipitation in membrane-enriched epithelial cell extracts from the porcine oviduct. The findings strongly support a functional interaction in the mammalian oviduct, suggestive of a role on epithelial protection and homeostasis, which might be related to epithelium-gamete interaction.
