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

Glycan or carbohydrate structures can be pictorially represented using symbolic nomenclatures. The symbol nomenclature for glycans (SNFG) contains 67 different monosaccharides represented using various colors and geometric shapes. A simple tool to convert International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) format text to SNFG will be useful for sketching glycans and glycopeptides. Such code can also enable the development of more sophisticated applications, where the visual representation of carbohydrate structures is necessary. To address this need, the current manuscript describes DrawGlycan-SNFG, a freely available, platform-independent, open-source tool. It allows: i. the display of glycans and glycopeptides from IUPAC-condensed text inputs and ii. the depiction of glycan and glycopeptide fragments. The online version of this program is provided with a user-friendly web interface at www.virtualglycome.org/DrawGlycan. Downloadable, stand-alone GUI (Graphical User Interface) version and the program source code are also available from this repository. DrawGlycan-SNFG will be useful for experimentalists looking for a ready to use, simple program for sketching carbohydrates and for software developers interested in incorporating SNFG into their program suite.
