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

The molecular mechanisms regulating hemicelluloses and pectin biosynthesis are poorly understood. An important question in this regard is how glycosyltransferases are oriented in the Golgi cisternae, and how nucleotide sugars are made available for the synthesis of the polymers. Here we show that the branching enzyme xyloglucan alpha,1-2 fucosyltransferase (XG-FucTase) from growing pea (Pisum sativum) epicotyls was latent and protected against proteolytic inactivation on intact, right-side-in pea stem Golgi vesicles. Moreover, much of the XG-FucTase activity was membrane associated. These data indicate that XG-FucTase is a membrane-bound luminal enzyme. GDP-Fuc uptake studies demonstrated that GDP-Fuc was taken up into Golgi vesicles in a protein-mediated process, and that this uptake was not competed by UDP-Glc, suggesting that a specific GDP-Fuc transporter is involved in xyloglucan biosynthesis. Once in the lumen, Fuc was transferred onto endogenous acceptors, including xyloglucan. GDPase activity was detected in the lumen of the vesicles, suggesting than the GDP produced upon transfer of Fuc was hydrolyzed to GMP and inorganic phosphate. We suggest than the GDP-Fuc transporter and GDPase may be regulators of xyloglucan fucosylation in the Golgi apparatus from pea epicotyls.
