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

Fibrinogen C domain-containing protein 1 (FIBCD1) is an immune protein proposed to be involved in host recognition of chitin on the surface of pathogens. As FIBCD1 readily binds acetylated molecules, we have determined the high-resolution crystal structures of a recombinant fragment of the FIBCD1 C-terminal domain complexed with small N-acetyl-containing ligands to determine the mode of recognition. All ligands bind at the conserved N-acetyl-binding site (S1) with galactose and glucose-derived ligands rotated 180° relative to each other. One subunit of a native structure derived from protein expressed in mammalian cells binds glycosylation from a neighboring subunit, in an extended binding site. Across the various structures, the primary S1 binding pocket is occupied by N-acetyl-containing ligands or acetate, with N-acetyl, acetate, or sulfate ion in an adjacent pocket S1(2).
