Specificity of widely used lectins as probed with oligosaccharide and plant polysaccharide arrays.
Article in Histochemistry and cell biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Glycan-binding specificity was studied for Jacalin, RCA 120, SBA, PHA-L, PHA-E, WGA, UEA, AAL, LTL, LEL, SNA, DSA, LCA, MAH and Con A, lectins widely used in histochemistry. Oligosaccharide- and polysaccharide-based glycan arrays were applied. Expected specificity was confirmed for only 6 of the 15 lectins and the glycan binding profiles of some lectins were dramatically broader than generally accepted. WGA, LEL and DSA known as chitooligosaccharide-specific, were unexpectedly polyreactive, binding to other glycans with the same affinity as to chitobiose, ABH antigens and oligolactosamines (unsubstituted and sialylated). SBA, in addition to expected binding to glycans with terminal GalNAcα, also had high affinity for the GM1 ganglioside. MAH demonstrated much higher affinity to a variety of sulfated glycans compared to Neu5Acα2-3Galβ1-3GalNAcα. Contrary to the common view, LCA demonstrated the maximum binding to (GlcNAcβ1-2Manα1)
