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

Sgk1 is an aldosterone-induced kinase that regulates epithelial sodium channel (ENaC)-mediated Na+ transport in the collecting duct and connecting tubule of the kidney. The NH2 terminus of Sgk1 contains instability motifs that direct the ubiquitination of Sgk1 resulting in a rapidly degraded protein. By bioinformatic analysis, we identified a 5' variant alternate transcript of human Sgk1 (Sgk1_v2) that is widely expressed, is conserved from rodent to humans, and is predicted to encode an Sgk1 isoform, Sgk1_i2, with a different NH2 terminus. When expressed in HEK293 cells, Sgk1_i2 was more abundant than Sgk1 because of an increased protein half-life and this correlated with reduced ubiquitination of Sgk1_i2 and enhanced surface expression of ENaC. Immunocytochemical studies demonstrated that in contrast to Sgk1, Sgk1_i2 is preferentially targeted to the plasma membrane. When coexpressed with ENaC subunits in FRT epithelia, Sgk1_i2 had a significantly greater effect on amiloride-sensitive Na+ transport compared with Sgk1. Together, the data demonstrate that a conserved NH2-terminal variant of Sgk1 shows improved stability, enhanced membrane association, and greater stimulation of epithelial Na+ transport in a heterologous expression system.
