Distribution of lectin binding in the testes of the musk shrew, Suncus murinus.
Article in Journal of anatomy, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Distribution of lectin binding in the testis of the musk shrew, Suncus murinus, was investigated by light and transmission electron microscopy. Not only spermatogenic cells but also Sertoli cells bound some lectins. Canavalia ensiformis agglutinin (Con A) and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA, Triticum vulgaris), indicating the presence of D-mannose and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine respectively, showed an intense reaction in the acrosomal region of early to late spermatids. Ricinus communis agglutinin I (RCA-I), peanut agglutinin (PNA, Arachis hypogaea), Bauhinia purpurea agglutinin (BPA), soybean agglutinin (SBA, Glycine max), revealing the presence of D-galactose and/or N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, bound to the acrosomal region from Golgi to acrosome-phase spermatids and abruptly decreased in intensity in maturation-phase spermatids. GS-II, indicating the presence of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, gave an intense reaction only in the acrosome of acrosome-phase spermatids. These findings demonstrate that the appearance/disappearance of some glycoconjugates in the spermatid acrosome occurs in the musk shrew during acrosomal formation. Additionally, RCA-I, PNA and BPA revealed a strong reaction in the cytoplasm of Sertoli cells. The reaction that was observed in the intramembranous region of Sertoli cell cytoplasm at the electron microscope level appeared from stages VIII to XIII but not from stages I to VII. This finding suggests that glycoconjugates containing D-galactose may change stage-dependently in the musk shrew Sertoli cell.
