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

Increased branching at the trimannosyl core of 'complex-type' Asn-linked oligosaccharides has been observed in both human and murine tumour cells, and appears to be associated with enhanced metastatic potential in several murine tumour models [Dennis, Laferte, Waghorne, Breitman & Kerbel (1987), Science 236, 582-585]. The lectin leucoagglutinin (L-PHA) requires the-GlcNAc beta 1-6Man alpha 1-6Man-linked lactosamine antenna in complex-type oligosaccharides for high-affinity binding and can be used to detect these structures in glycoproteins separated on SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The major L-PHA-binding glycoproteins in the highly metastatic lymphoid tumour cell line called MDAY-D2 were purified and resolved into two major species, termed P2A (110 kDa) and P2B (130 kDa). P2A had L-PHA-reactive Asn-linked oligosaccharides with polylactosamine sequences as well as a large component of sialylated O-linked carbohydrates. The glycoprotein showed structural characteristics similar to those of leukosialin (i.e. CD43), a glycoprotein previously identified on the surface of leukocytes. Based on monosaccharide compositional analysis and glycosidase digestions, P2B was found to be 50-60% Asn-linked oligosaccharide containing polylactosamine sequences and sialic acid. The N-terminal peptide sequence of P2B was determined to be very similar to that of murine lysosomal membrane glycoprotein (LAMP-1), a ubiquitous glycoprotein found largely in the lysosomal membranes but also in the plasma membrane of several murine and human tumour cell lines.
