The intracellular interplay between galectin-1 and FGF12 in the assembly of ribosome biogenesis complex.
Article in Cell communication and signaling : CCS, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Galectins constitute a class of lectins that specifically interact with β-galactoside sugars in glycoconjugates and are implicated in diverse cellular processes, including transport, autophagy or signaling. Since most of the activity of galectins depends on their ability to bind sugar chains, galectins exert their functions mainly in the extracellular space or at the cell surface, which are microenvironments highly enriched in glycoconjugates. Galectins are also abundant inside cells, but their specific intracellular functions are largely unknown. Here we report that galectin-1, -3, -7 and -8 directly interact with the proteinaceous core of fibroblast growth factor 12 (FGF12) in the cytosol and in nucleus. We demonstrate that binding of galectin-1 to FGF12 in the cytosol blocks FGF12 secretion. Furthermore, we show that intracellular galectin-1 affects the assembly of FGF12-containing nuclear/nucleolar ribosome biogenesis complexes consisting of NOLC1 and TCOF1. Our data provide a new link between galectins and FGF proteins, revealing an unexpected glycosylation-independent intracellular interplay between these groups of proteins.
