Ultrastructural localization of lectin-binding sites in different basement membranes.
Article in The Histochemical journal, 1993. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In the present work we localized binding sites for the lectins WGA, RCA I, con A and SBA at the ultrastructural levels in morphologically different basement membranes. These different basement membranes included (a) thin ones, for example, tubular basement membrane of the mouse kidney which separates epithelial cell layers from mesenchymal cells and glomerular basement membrane which separates epithelial cells from other epithelial cells, (b) thick multilayered ones, for example. Reichert's membrane which is built up during the embryonic development of rodents and as an example of a pathologically thickened basement membrane, the basement membrane of the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) sarcoma. We were able to show that, in contrast to the thick multilayered basement membranes, the thin ones showed a strong positive SBA-binding pattern. Thick basement membranes otherwise revealed very strong labelling with the lectins WGA and RCA I. Our findings lead us to conclude that thin and thick basement membranes differ markedly in the quality and quantity of the carbohydrates which they contain.
