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

We examined the specificity of limulin, Limax flavus agglutinin (LFA) and Sambucus nigra agglutinin I (SNA I) at the submolecular level of sialic acid, and characterized their interactions with a panel of structurally distinct sialoglycoproteins. In haemagglutination inhibition assays NeuAc-alpha-glycosides were stronger inhibitors for limulin and LFA than native N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc). The N-acetyl of NeuAc was crucial for binding to both lectins. N-thioacetylated NeuAc lost affinity for LFA, but still bound to limulin. Thus, distinct intermolecular interactions are involved in binding of sialic acid to the lectins. The glyceryl side chain was required for interaction with LFA, but not with limulin. SNA I specifically bound NeuAc alpha 2 --> 6Gal beta 1 --> 4Glc, but not monomeric sialic acids. Limulin and LFA strongly interacted with O-chain glycoproteins, whereas SNA I preferred N-chain proteins that carry NeuAc alpha 2 --> 6 residues. The lectins were compared with those from Cepaea hortensis and Tachypleus tridentatus (TTA) and to wheat-germ agglutinin, and were then used to probe tumour cell lines for cell surface sialylation. With the exception of TTA, all lectins interacted with the tumour cells. Limulin distinguished between the low (Eb) and highly (ESb) metastatic mouse lymphoma lines by selectively agglutinating sialidase-treated ESb cells.
