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

N-glycans are displayed on cell-surface proteins and can engage in direct binding interactions with membrane-bound and secreted glycan-binding proteins (GBPs). Biochemical identification and characterization of glycan-mediated interactions is often made difficult by low binding affinities. Here we describe the metabolic introduction of a diazirine photo-cross-linker onto N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues of N-linked glycoproteins on cell surfaces. We characterize sites at which diazirine-modified GlcNAc is incorporated, as well as modest perturbations to glycan structure. We show that diazirine-modified GlcNAc can be used to covalently cross-link two extracellular GBPs, galectin-1 and cholera toxin subunit B, to cell-surface N-linked glycoproteins. The extent of cross-linking correlates with display of the preferred glycan ligands for the GBPs. In addition, covalently cross-linked complexes could be isolated, and protein components of cross-linked N-linked glycoproteins were identified by proteomics analysis. This method may be useful in the discovery and characterization of binding interactions that depend on N-glycans.
