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

UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminyltrans- ferases (ppGalNAc Ts) comprise a large family of glycosyltransferases that initiate mucin-type protein O-glycosylation, transferring alpha-GalNAc to Thr and Ser residues of polypeptide acceptors. Families of ppGalNAc Ts are found across diverse eukaryotes with orthologs identifiable from mammals to single-cell organisms. The peptide substrate specificity and specific protein targets of the individual ppGalNAc T family members remain poorly understood. Previously, we reported a series of oriented random peptide substrate libraries for quantitatively determining the peptide substrate specificities of the mammalian ppGalNAc T1 and T2 (Gerken TA, Raman J, Fritz TA, Jamison O. 2006. Identification of common and unique peptide substrate preferences for the UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases T1 & T2 (ppGalNAc T1 & T2) derived from oriented random peptide substrates. J Biol Chem. 281:32403-32416). With these substrates, previously unknown features of the transferases were revealed. Utilizing these and a new lengthened set of random peptides, studies have now been performed on PGANT5 and PGANT2, the Drosophila orthologs of T1 and T2. The results from these studies suggest that the major peptide substrate determinants for these transferases are contained within 2 to 3 residues flanking the site of glycosylation. It is further found that the mammalian and fly T1 orthologs display very similar peptide substrate preferences, while the T2 orthologs are nearly indistinguishable, suggesting similar peptide preferences amongst orthologous pairs have been maintained across evolution. This conclusion is further supported by sequence homology comparisons of each of the transferase orthologs, showing that the peptide substrate and UDP binding site residues are more highly conserved between species relative to their remaining catalytic and lectin domain residues.
