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

Sulfation is a common modification of glycans and glycoproteins. Sulfated N-glycans have been identified in various glycoproteins and implicated for biological functions, but in vitro synthesis of structurally well-defined full length sulfated N-glycans remains to be described. We report here the first in vitro enzymatic sulfation of biantennary complex type N-glycans by recombinant human CHST2 (GlcNAc-6-O-sulfotransferase 1, GlcNAc6ST-1). We found that the sulfotransferase showed high antennary preference and could selectively sulfate the GlcNAc moiety located on the Manα1,3Man arm of the biantennary N-glycan. The glycan chain was further elongated by bacterial β1,4 galactosyltransferase from Neiserria meningitidis and human β1,4 galactosyltransferase IV(B4GALT4), which led to the formation of different sulfated N-glycans. Using rituximab as a model IgG antibody, we further demonstrated that the sulfated N-glycans could be efficiently transferred to an intact antibody by using a chemoenzymatic Fc glycan remodeling method, providing homogeneous sulfated glycoforms of antibodies. Preliminary binding analysis indicated that sulfation did not affect the apparent affinity of the antibody for FcγIIIa receptor.
