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

We measured ST3Gal, ST6Gal, ST6GalNAc and ST8Sia expression in human hepatic carcinoma cell lines, HepG-2 and SMMC-7721 and normal hepatic cell line, L-02 to reveal the relationship between hepatic carcinoma cell lines sialyltransferases expression and cell membrane sialic acid sugar chains. Membrane sialic acid sugar chains in L-02, HepG-2 and SMMC-7721 cell lines were measured with lectin microarrays to find expression profiles. Expression of 20 sialyltransferases was measured with DNA microarray. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to verify DNA microarrays data. Siaα 2-3Galβ1-3[Siaα2-6GalNAc]α-R and Siaα 2-6Gal/GalNAc sugar chains in hepatic carcinoma cell lines, HepG-2 and SMMC-7721 were upregulated, and 7differentially expressed sialyltransferases were captured. ST3Gal-IV and ST6Gal I were overexpressed and ST3Gal-I, ST3Gal-V, ST3Gal-VI, ST6GalNAcII and ST6GalNAcVI were downregulated in HepG-2 and SMMC-7721 cell Lines, compared with control cell line. ST6GalNAc-IV and ST8sia expressions were not detected. Other sialyltransferases were not different among cell lines. Results from qRT-PCR and Western blot were consistent with DNA microarray. Overexpression of ST3Gal-IV and ST6Gal I in HepG-2 and SMMC-7721 cell lines may correlate with upregulation of Siaα 2-3Galβ1-3[Siaα2-6GalNAc]α-R and Siaα 2-6Gal/GalNAc sugar chains on cell membranes.
