Studies on the role of goat heart galectin-1 as a tool for detecting post-malignant changes in glycosylation pattern.
Article in Saudi journal of biological sciences, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Galectins are mammalian lectins established to play a crucial role in the progression of various cancer types by the virtue of their differential expression in normal and cancerous cells. In the present study, goat heart galectin-1 (GHG-1) was purified and investigated for its potential role in the detection of post-malignant changes in glycosylation pattern. When exposed to superoxide radicals generated from a pyrogallol auto-oxidation system, GHG-1 treated erythrocyte suspension released higher amount of oxyhemoglobin than the unagglutinated erythrocytes. The extent of erythrocyte hemolysis was found to be directly proportional to concentrations of hypochlorous acid. GHG-1 was used to detect the change in the β-galactoside expression pattern in erythrocyte membrane from human donors suffering from prostate and breast cancer. No significant change was observed in the hemolysis of lectin agglutinated erythrocytes collected from pre-operated breast cancer patients, whereas significant increase was observed in normal healthy control and post-operated samples. Findings of this study proclaim GHG-1 as an important tool for the detection of post-malignant changes in glycosylation pattern.
