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

There are two families of nucleoside transporters, concentrative (termed CNTs) and equilibrative (called ENTs). The members of both families mediate the transmembrane transport of natural nucleosides and some drugs whose structure is based on nucleosides. CNT transporters show a high affinity for their natural substrates (with Km values in the low micromolar range) and are substrate selective. In contrast, ENT transporters show lower affinity and are more permissive regarding the substrates they accept. Both types of transporters are tightly regulated in all cell types studied so far, both by endocrine and growth factors and by substrate availability. The degree of cell differentiation and the proliferation status of a cell also affect the pattern of expressed transporters. Although the presence of both types of transporters in the cells of absortive epithelia suggested the possibility of a transepithelial flux of nucleosides, their exact localization in the different plasma membrane domains of epithelial cells had not been demonstrated until recently. Concentrative transporters are found in the apical membrane while equlibrative transporters are located in the basolateral membrane, thus strengthening the hypothesis of a transepithelial flux of nucleosides.
