Galectin-3 binds to the RGD-binding site in a glycan-independent manner and to the allosteric site and activates integrins αvβ3, αIIbβ3, and α5β1.

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

Galectin-3 (Gal3) is one of the most pro-inflammatory proteins and a biomarker of inflammatory diseases and cancer. Previous studies showed that Gal3 binds to αv and β1 integrins but it is unclear how Gal3 binds to integrins. Here, we show that Gal3 bound to soluble αvβ3 and αIIbβ3 integrins in 1 mM Mn
