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

Glucose 1,6-bisphosphate (Glc-1,6-P(2)) concentration in brain is much higher than what is required for the functioning of phosphoglucomutase, suggesting that this compound has a role other than as a cofactor of phosphomutases. In cell-free systems, Glc-1,6-P(2) is formed from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate and Glc-6-P by two related enzymes: PGM2L1 (phosphoglucomutase 2-like 1) and, to a lesser extent, PGM2 (phosphoglucomutase 2). It is hydrolyzed by the IMP-stimulated brain Glc-1,6-bisphosphatase of still unknown identity. Our aim was to test whether Glc-1,6-bisphosphatase corresponds to the phosphomannomutase PMM1, an enzyme of mysterious physiological function sharing several properties with Glc-1,6-bisphosphatase. We show that IMP, but not other nucleotides, stimulated by >100-fold (K(a) approximately 20 mum) the intrinsic Glc-1,6-bisphosphatase activity of recombinant PMM1 while inhibiting its phosphoglucomutase activity. No such effects were observed with PMM2, an enzyme paralogous to PMM1 that physiologically acts as a phosphomannomutase in mammals. Transfection of HEK293T cells with PGM2L1, but not the related enzyme PGM2, caused an approximately 20-fold increase in the concentration of Glc-1,6-P(2). Transfection with PMM1 caused a profound decrease (>5-fold) in Glc-1,6-P(2) in cells that were or were not cotransfected with PGM2L1. Furthermore, the concentration of Glc-1,6-P(2) in wild-type mouse brain decreased with time after ischemia, whereas it did not change in PMM1-deficient mouse brain. Taken together, these data show that PMM1 corresponds to the IMP-stimulated Glc-1,6-bisphosphatase and that this enzyme is responsible for the degradation of Glc-1,6-P(2) in brain. In addition, the role of PGM2L1 as the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of the elevated concentrations of Glc-1,6-P(2) in brain is established.
