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

key messageTrimeric Galanthus nivalis agglutinin-related lectin of Orchidaceae with two conformational forms was first studied in Dendrobium pendulum . It was highly expressed by stress factors. Using mannan-agarose column chromatography, a mannose-binding protein was purified from Dendrobium pendulum Roxb. pseudobulb. After heating in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) with or without 2-mercaptoethanol, the protein showed one band with molecular mass of 14.0 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Without heating, three bands were found at positions of 14.0, 39.4, and 41.5 kDa, but a higher amount of 39.4 and 41.5 kDa protein bands were seen in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and database search indicated that the 14.0 kDa protein band contained three peptide fragments identical to parts of a lectin precursor from Dendrobiu m findleyanum Parish & Rchb.f. Native-PAGE and Ferguson plot showed that the purified protein had two native forms with molecular masses of 44.2 and 45.3 kDa, indicating three 14.0 kDa polypeptide subunits. The purified protein exhibited the agglutination activity with trypsinized chicken erythrocytes. It was then recognized as a Galanthus nivalis agglutinin-related lectin and named D. pendulum agglutinin (DPA). Using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing, the deduced amino acid sequence of DPA precursor showed the highest homology (96.4%) with a lectin precursor of D. findleyanum and contained three mannose-binding sites. Greater amounts of DPA were found when the pseudobulbs were treated with stress factors including ultraviolet light, abscisic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and acetylene gas.
