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

1. We report the molecular identification of a Na+-Pi (inorganic phosphate) cotransport system of the NaPi-II protein family from zebrafish intestine. Following a PCR-related strategy, a DNA fragment from intestine-derived RNA was isolated. Rapid amplification of cDNA ends (3'- and 5'-RACE) resulted in the complete sequence (2607 bp) containing an open reading frame of 1893 bp. 2. The NaPi-II-related protein was expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes and the resulting transport activity was analysed by electrophysiological means. The apparent Km for Pi was 250 microM (96 mM Na+, -60 mV), and voltage-dependent binding of Na+ exhibited a Km of 67.1 mM (1 mM Pi, -60 mV). 3. Interestingly, the overall transport activity was almost insensitive to changes in the holding potential. The apparent affinity for Na+ decreased under hyperpolarizing conditions, whereas Pi binding showed no voltage dependence. Transport activity was inhibited at low pH, which is characteristic for renal NaPi-II isoforms. 4. The expression of the NaPi-II-related isoform was addressed by reverse-transcription PCR. The mRNA could be detected in intestine, liver, eye and kidney. Unexpectedly, a second NaPi-II-related isoform was identified and found to be expressed in kidney, intestine, liver, brain, eye and prominently in testis. In addition, a shorter amplicon was demonstrated to be an antisense transcript related to the NaPi-II intestinal isoform.
