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

Cyclic β-(1→2)-D-glucan (CβG) is a unique carbohydrate derivative produced by pathogenic bacteria of the genus Brucella. Controversial opinions regarding the use of CβG in brucellosis diagnosis have been published. Herein we report the first synthesis of spacered oligo-β-(1→2)-D-glucosides related to the fragments of CβG and containing up to 5 glucose units. Although the desired di- and trisaccharides could be obtained using standard methods, the synthesis of tetra- and pentasaccharides required substantial effort. The obtained oligosaccharides exhibited complex dependencies of their NMR spectral data on the chain length, explained by a tendency to form helical structures. Despite high production of the CβG by Brucella, antibodies to β-(1→2)-D-glucosides detected in human sera are not related to the brucellosis. However, the antibodies to CβG were raised after immunization by BSA-conjugate of penta-β-(1→2)-D-glucoside and allowed detection of CβG, which opens a way towards the development of the new brucellosis diagnostic kit.
