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 investigated expression of mouse macrophage galactose/N-acetylgalactosamine-specific calcium-type lectin (MMGL) in mouse embryos using a rat monoclonal antibody (mAb) LOM-14 that we previously developed. Immunoblot analysis revealed that a significant expression of MMGL was first detected in detergent extracts of whole embryos of 11 days post coitus (dpc) and the level of its expression increased during further fetal development (examined up to 18-dpc embryos). Tissue sections of 12, 14, 16, and 18-dpc embryos, newborn and adult mice were investigated by immunohistochemical staining. In embryos of 12-dpc and later stages, mesenchymal cells (typically distributed in the embryonic skin) exhibited positive signals for MMGL. Interestingly, a conspicuous staining was observed during endochondral ossification in temporary cartilage tissue, in which chondroblasts were transiently positive for MMGL. The staining intensity for the chondroblasts peaked in 14-dpc embryos and then gradually decreased. The staining was diminished while hypertrophy and maturation of chondrocytes proceeded, and was eliminated in areas with calcification. Immunoelectron microscopic study demonstrated the presence of MMGL in rough endoplasmic reticulum in the chondroblasts in the temporary cartilage tissue in 14-dpc embryos. These results provide first evidence showing the expression of MMGL in cells other than macrophages.
