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

Sialic acids, terminal structures of sialylated glycoconjugates, are widely distributed in animal tissues and are often involved in intercellular recognitions, including some bacteria and viruses. Mycoplasma mobile, a fish pathogenic bacterium, binds to sialyloligosaccharide (SO) through adhesin Gli349 and glides on host cell surfaces. The amino acid sequence of Gli349 shows no similarity to known SO-binding proteins. In the present study, we predicted the binding part of Gli349, produced it in Escherichia coli and proved its binding activity to SOs of fetuin using atomic force microscopy. Binding was detected with a frequency of 10.3% under retraction speed of 400 nm/s and was shown to be specific for SO, as binding events were competitively inhibited by the addition of free 3'-sialyllactose. The histogram of the unbinding forces showed 24 pN and additional peaks. These results suggested that the distal end of Gli349 constitutes a novel sialoadhesin domain and is directly involved in the gliding mechanism of M. mobile.
