Identification of Banana Lectin Isoforms and Differential Acetylation Through Mass Spectrometry Approaches.
Article in The protein journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Banana lectin (BanLec) exhibits specificity to glucose/mannose residues present in oligo saccharides or glycoconjugates and has attracted a lot of attention recently as a potent therapeutic agent. Structural studies and molecular cloning methods has revealed the presence of three different BanLec proteins in two species. In our study, initial mass spectrometric analysis of affinity purified native BanLec from banana pulp (Musa paradisiaca) indicated the presence of proteins with different molecular mass. Through the bottom up and top down analysis we identified three major isoforms with acetylation at N terminus. Especially, top down analysis revealed one isoform being present as non acetylated species. The combination of mass spectrometry approaches provided insights on genetic variants and differential modifications in native BanLec.
