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

Siglecs are immunomodulatory receptors that regulate immune cell function. A fundamental challenge in studying Siglec-ligand interactions is the low affinity of Siglecs for their ligands. Inspired by how nature uses multivalency, we developed Siglec-liposomes as a highly multivalent and versatile platform for detecting Siglec glycan ligands in which recombinant Siglecs were conjugated to liposomes using the SpyCatcher-SpyTag system. Siglec-liposomes offer tunable multivalency and a modular assembly, enabling presentation of different Siglecs on the same liposome. Using Siglec-liposomes, we profiled Siglec ligands on human leukocytes, revealing distinct patterns of Siglec ligands. Moreover, Siglec-liposomes are in vivo compatible, where we demonstrated that Siglec-7-liposomes bind to the brain vasculature in a mucin domain-dependent manner. Given the abundance of Siglec ligands on T cells, we investigated whether Siglec-liposomes modulate T cell function and find that Siglec-7-liposomes increase T cell proliferation in an ST3Gal1-dependent and CD43-independent manner. Together, Siglec-liposomes are a versatile and sensitive tool for detecting Siglec ligands and immunomodulation.
