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

A mannose binding jacalin-related lectin from Ananas comosus stem (AcmJRL) was purified and biochemically characterized. This lectin is homogeneous according to native, SDS-PAGE and N-terminal sequencing and the theoretical molecular mass was confirmed by ESI-Q-TOF-MS. AcmJRL was found homodimeric in solution by size-exclusion chromatography. Rat erythrocytes are agglutinated by AcmJRL while no agglutination activity is detected against rabbit and sheep erythrocytes. Hemagglutination activity was found more strongly inhibited by mannooligomannosides than by D-mannose. The carbohydrate-binding specificity of AcmJRL was determined in some detail by isothermal titration calorimetry. All sugars tested were found to bind with low affinity to AcmJRL, with K
