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

To monitor the kinetics of biological processes that take place within the minute time scale, simple and fast analytical methods are required. In this article, we present our discovery of an azide with an internal Cu(I)-chelating motif that enabled the development of the fastest protocol for Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) to date, and its application toward following the dynamic process of glycan biosynthesis. We discovered that an electron-donating picolyl azide boosted the efficiency of the ligand-accelerated CuAAC 20-38-fold in living systems with no apparent toxicity. With a combination of this azide and BTTPS, a tris(triazolylmethyl)amine-based ligand for Cu(I), we were able to detect newly synthesized cell-surface glycans by flow cytometry using as low as 1 nM of a metabolic precursor. This supersensitive chemistry enabled us to monitor the dynamic glycan biosynthesis in mammalian cells and in early zebrafish embryogenesis. In live mammalian cells, we discovered that it takes approximately 30-45 min for a monosaccharide building block to be metabolized and incorporated into cell-surface glycoconjugates. In zebrafish embryos, the labeled glycans could be detected as early as the two-cell stage. To our knowledge, this was the first time that newly synthesized glycans were detected at the cleavage period (0.75-2 hpf) in an animal model using bioorthogonal chemistry.
