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

Human liver peroxisomal alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT) is a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme that converts glyoxylate into glycine. AGT deficiency causes primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1), a rare autosomal recessive disorder, due to a marked increase in hepatic oxalate production. Normal human AGT exists as two polymorphic variants: the major (AGT-Ma) and the minor (AGT-Mi) allele. AGT-Mi causes the PH1 disease only when combined with some mutations. In this study, the molecular basis of the synergism between AGT-Mi and F152I mutation has been investigated through a detailed biochemical characterization of AGT-Mi and the Phe(152) variants combined either with the major (F152I-Ma, F152A-Ma) or the minor allele (F152I-Mi). Although these species show spectral features, kinetic parameters, and PLP binding affinity similar to those of AGT-Ma, the Phe(152) variants exhibit the following differences with respect to AGT-Ma and AGT-Mi: (i) pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate (PMP) is released during the overall transamination leading to the conversion into apoenzymes, and (ii) the PMP binding affinity is at least 200-1400-fold lower. Thus, Phe(152) is not an essential residue for transaminase activity, but plays a role in selectively stabilizing the AGT-PMP complex, by a proper orientation of Trp(108), as suggested by bioinformatic analysis. These data, together with the finding that apoF152I-Mi is the only species that at physiological temperature undergoes a time-dependent inactivation and concomitant aggregation, shed light on the molecular defects resulting from the association of the F152I mutation with AGT-Mi, and allow to speculate on the responsiveness to pyridoxine therapy of PH1 patients carrying this mutation.
