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

Nucleotide sugar transporters play an essential role in protein and lipid glycosylation, and mutations can result in developmental phenotypes. We have characterized a transporter of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine and UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine encoded by the Caenorhabditis elegans gene C03H5.2. Surprisingly, translocation of these substrates occurs in an independent and simultaneous manner that is neither a competitive nor a symport transport. Incubations of Golgi apparatus vesicles of Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing C03H5.2 protein with these nucleotide sugars labeled with (3)H and (14)C in their sugars showed that both substrates enter the lumen to the same extent, whether or not they are incubated alone or in the presence of a 10-fold excess of the other nucleotide sugar. Vesicles containing a deletion mutant of the C03H5.2 protein transport UDP-N-acetylglucosamine at rates comparable with that of wild-type transporter, whereas transport of UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine was decreased by 85-90%, resulting in an asymmetrical loss of substrate transport.
