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

The expression of polysialic acid (polySia) on the neuronal cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is called NCAM-polysialylation, which is strongly related to the migration and invasion of tumor cells and aggressive clinical status. During the NCAM polysialylation process, polysialyltransferases (polySTs), such as polysialyltransferase IV (ST8SIA4) or polysialyltransferase II (ST8SIA2), can catalyze the addition of CMP-sialic acid (CMP-Sia) to the NCAM to form polysialic acid (polySia). In this study, the docking models of polysialyltransferase IV (ST8Sia4) protein and different ligands were predicted using Alphafold 3 and DiffDock servers, and the prediction accuracy was further verified using the NMR experimental spectra of the interactions between polysialyltransferase domain (PSTD), a crucial peptide domain in ST8Sia4, and a different ligand. This combination strategy provides new insights into a quick and effective screening for inhibitors of tumor cell migration.
