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

Galectins are a functionally diverse family of β-galactosyl-binding lectins that are ubiquitously present in animal species, with key roles in development and immune regulation. Recently, galectins have been found to recognize microbial glycosylated moieties, but the detailed mechanisms of their innate immune functions in mucosal epithelia have remained elusive. The zebrafish (
