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

Known glycoproteins were used to determine the differences occurring in the binding specificities of the three variants of the K88 lectin in an approach essentially based on lectin blotting. During the screening, it was demonstrated that each variant of the K88 lectin biotinylated via its amino groups (NbioK88) exhibited a characteristic binding to the three chains of porcine fibrinogen. NbioK88ab weakly bound to A alpha chains, NbioK88ac bound to B beta and gamma chains, and NbioK88ad bound only to the gamma chain. To validate this model, the oligosaccharide moieties of porcine fibrinogen were analyzed with glycosidases and by lectin blotting and sugar composition. Both the B beta chain and gamma chain carry biantennary N-glycans of the N-acetyllactosamine type that are not recognized by K88 lectins. A alpha chains are substituted by sialylated T antigen. O-glycans were also detected on B beta and gamma chains of porcine fibrinogen and contribute to the recognition of these chains by K88ac and K88ad fimbriae.
