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

Sickle cell disease is an inherited genetic disorder that causes anemia, pain crises, organ infarction, and infections in 13 million people worldwide. Previous studies have revealed changes in sialic acid levels associated with red blood cell sickling and showed that stressed red blood cells bare surface-exposed clustered terminal mannose structures mediating hemolysis, but detailed glycan structures and anti-glycan antibodies in sickle cell disease remain understudied. Here, we compiled results obtained through lectin arrays, glycan arrays, and mass spectrometry to interrogate red blood cell glycoproteins and glycan-binding proteins found in the plasma of healthy individuals and patients with sickle cell disease and sickle cell trait. Lectin arrays and mass spectrometry revealed an increase in α2,6 sialylation and a decrease in α2,3 sialylation and blood group antigens displayed on red blood cells. Increased binding of proteins to immunogenic asialo and sialyl core 1, Lewis A, and Lewis Y structures was observed in plasma from patients with sickle cell disease, suggesting a heightened anti-glycan immune response. Data modeling affirmed glycan expression and plasma protein binding changes in sickle cell disease but additionally revealed further changes in ABO blood group expression. Our data provide detailed insights into glycan changes associated with sickle cell disease and refer glycans as potential therapeutic targets.
