A C-type lectin from Bothrops jararacussu venom reprograms endothelial cell biology.
Article in Angiogenesis, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Snake venoms are intricate mixtures of enzymes and bioactive factors that induce a range of detrimental effects in afflicted hosts. Certain Viperids, including Bothrops jararacussu, harbor C-type lectins (CTLs) known for their modulation of a variety of host cellular responses. In this study, we isolated and purified BjcuL, a CTL from B. jararacussu venom and investigated its impact on endothelial cell behavior, contrasting it with human galectin-1 (Gal-1), a prototype member of the galectin family with shared β-galactoside-binding activity. We found that BjcuL binds to human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HMECs) in a concentration- and carbohydrate-dependent fashion and reprograms the function of these cells, favoring a pro-inflammatory and pro-coagulant endothelial phenotype. In light of the quest for universal antagonists capable of mitigating the harmful consequences of snake venoms, BjcuL emerges as a promising target to be blocked in order to regulate pathological endothelial cell responses.
