Ultrastructural localization of carbohydrates in Reichert's membrane of the mouse.
Article in Cell and tissue research, 1993. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 investigation, we examined the role of trophoblast and parietal endoderm cells in the synthesis of carbohydrate-containing components of Reichert's membrane. To eliminate the function of Reichert's membrane as a filter between maternal and embryonal tissues we carried out our examination under in vitro conditions. Parietal yolk sac from mouse embryos on day 9 post coitum (p.c.) were cultivated for 0 to 5 days. Because tannic acid enables a complex formation between carbohydrates and osmium we chose the fixation with this acid for the ultrastructural study. Electron microscopy showed that for assembly of Reichert's membrane, trophoblast cells produce and then release components that were detected as tannic acid-positive granules both in the Reichert's membrane and in the vacuoles of the trophoblast cells. To localize specific carbohydrates we used postembedding-gold-lectin histochemistry on LR-GoldR-embedded tissues. Strong binding sites for the lectins WGA (Triticum vulgare), RCA I (Ricinus communis) and Con A (Canavalia ensiformis) were observed in Reichert's membrane and trophoblast cells but not in the parietal endoderm cells. The LTA (Lotus tetragonolobus)-binding pattern was positive in the membrane and its adjacent cells but that of the LFA (Limax flavus) was negative in the parietal endoderm cells and very weak in Reichert's membrane and trophoblast cells. Our results demonstrate that trophoblast cells are involved in the construction of Reichert's membrane through the production and release of specific glycoconjugates.
