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

It is well known that β-(1→3)-Glucans present high applicative potential in human health as immunostimulating agents. Numerous studies have highlighted this, but mainly used native polysaccharides extracted from various natural sources. These compounds are therefore inevitably polydisperse but also present structures that are not homogeneous, in an analytical point of view. This is the reason why we have achieved the chemical synthesis of small glucan-mannitol derivatives especially found in brown seaweeds. The targets differ from each other by the nature of the conjunction between the laminaribiose and the mannose or mannitol, i.e., (1→6) or (1→3). We established that (I) these molecules were efficiently obtained from glucose, laminaribiose and/or mannose derivatives; (II) the synthetic plan has to be adapted to the first connection between a glucosyl entity and the mannosyl residue; and (III) resulting pure compounds may be used as the standard for analytical purposes.
