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 have characterized glycoinositol phospholipids (GIPLs) from three strains of the trypanosomatid parasites Endotrypanum schaudinni and Endotrypanum monterogeii. Methanolysis of the intact GIPLs liberated methyl esters of tetracosanoic acid, docosanoic acid, octadecanoic acid and hexadecanoic acid and C20 and C21 phytosphingosines. Phosphoinositol oligosaccharides were released from the GIPLs by mild base treatment, and their structures were determined by compositional analysis, fast-atom-bombardment MS and NMR spectroscopy. Similar compounds were detected in all three strains, although their relative proportions varied. The predominant components in E. schaudinni strain LV59 and E. monterogeii LV88 were Galpbeta1-3Galpbeta1-3Manalpha1-3Manalpha1-4G lcNalpha1-6Ins-1-P and Arapbeta1-2Ga lpbeta1-3Galpbeta1-3Manalpha1-3Manalpha1-4Glc Nalpha1-6Ins-1-P, and the major phosphoinositol oligosaccharide in E. schaudinni LV58 was the hybrid-type GIPL Manalpha1-2(EtNP-6)Manalpha1-6(Galpbeta1-3Man alpha1-3)Manalpha1-4GlcN alpha1-6Ins-1-P (where EtNP is ethanolamine phosphate). Several minor oligosaccharides containing additional galactose and/or arabinose residues were also detected.
