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

The distribution of the alpha and beta subunits of guanosine-nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins) among the apical and basolateral membranes of polarized rat enterocytes was investigated by ADP-ribosylation assays in vitro and immunoblotting with G-protein-subunit-specific antisera. The enterocytes were found to express alpha i2, alpha ji3, alpha s and beta subunits, whereas alpha i1 and alpha o subunits could not be detected. The alpha i2 and alpha i3 subunits were located predominantly in the basolateral membrane, in contrast with the alpha s and beta subunits, which were distributed uniformly among both membranes. Furthermore, 39 kDa and 78 kDa proteins, recognized by anti-alpha i1/2 but not anti-alpha i1 or anti-alpha i3 specific antisera, and resistant to ADP-ribosylation by pertussis toxin, were localized exclusively at the apical border. These Gi-related proteins might represent novel members of the G-protein family. Activation of apical G-proteins by GTP or its analogues failed to release the alpha s, alpha i and beta subunits or the 39 kDa and 78 kDa alpha i-like proteins from the membrane, suggesting a functional role for these proteins in the apical membrane itself. Our recent finding of a guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate-sensitive Cl- conductance in the apical membrane of rat enterocytes suggests that one or more of these G-proteins may act as local regulators of specific apical transport functions.
