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

Distribution of carbohydrate moieties in the membrane system of the human blood platelet was studied by electron microscopy employing lectins as a probe. Glutaraldehyde-fixed platelets were treated with biotinylated-lectins (ConA, RCA, WGA, PNA, SBA, DBA and UEA-1) and labeled with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated avidin. Among the lectins used, ConA bound uniformly to the plasma membrane as well as to the membrane of the open-canalicular system (OCS). Other lectins showed more or less reduced binding on the OCS membrane compared with that on the plasma membrane, indicating that there exist regional differences in the distribution pattern of glycoconjugates in the membrane system of the platelet. The relationship of the distribution pattern of the glycoconjugates with the distribution of the major platelet glycoproteins GPIb and GPIIbIIIa is discussed.
