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

Axon-like neuritogenesis in neuroblastoma (NG108-15) cells and primary cerebellar granular neurons is furthered by the presence of ganglioside GM1. We describe here that galectin-1 (Gal-1), a homobivalent endogenous lectin, is an effector by cross-linking the ganglioside and its associated glycoprotein α5 β1 -integrin. The thereby triggered signaling cascade involves autophosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase and activation of phospholipase Cγ and phosphoinositide-3 kinase. This leads to a transient increase in the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration by opening of TRPC5 channels, which belong to the signal transduction-gated cation channels. Controls with GM1-defective cells (NG-CR72 and neurons from ganglio-series KO mice) were retarded in axonal growth, underscoring the relevance of GM1 as functional counterreceptor for Gal-1. The lectin's presence was detected in the NG108-15 cells, suggesting an autocrine mechanism of action, and in astrocytes in situ. Gal-1, as cross-linking lectin, can thus translate metabolic conversion of ganglioside GD1a to GM1 by neuraminidase action into axon growth. Galectin-1 (Gal-1) was shown an effector of axonogenesis in cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) and NG108-15 cells by cross-linking GM1 ganglioside and its associated glycoprotein α5 β1 -integrin. The resulting signaling led to a transient increase in intracellular Ca(2+) by opening TRPC5 channels. CGNs deficient in GM1 showed retarded axonogenesis, underscoring the relevance of GM1 as functional counterreceptor for Gal-1 in this process. This Gal-1/GM1-induced signaling was manifest only at the earliest, initiating stage of axon development.
