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

Myo-inositol is an important constituent of membrane phospholipids and is a precursor for the phosphoinositide signaling pathway. It is synthesized from glucose 6-phosphate by myo-inositol-3-phosphate synthase (IP synthase), a homotrimer composed of a 68-kDa polypeptide in most mammalian tissues. It is a putative target for mood-stabilizing drugs such as lithium and valproate. Here, we show that the rat gene (Isyna1) encoding this enzyme generates a number of alternatively spliced transcripts in addition to the fully spliced form that encodes the 68-kDa subunit (the alpha isoform). Specifically, we identify a small 16-kDa subunit (the gamma(c) isoform) derived by an intron retention mechanism and provide evidence for its existence in rat tissues. The gamma(c) isoform is highly conserved in mammals, but it lacks the catalytic domain while retaining the NAD(+) binding domain. Both alpha and gamma(c) isoforms are predominantly expressed in many rat tissues and display apparent stoichiometry in purified enzyme preparations. An IP synthase polyclonal antibody not only detects the alpha and gamma(c) isoforms but also several other isoforms in pancreas, intestine, and testis suggesting that the holoenzyme is composed of unique subunits in various tissues. Interestingly, the alpha isoform is not expressed in the intestine. IP synthase activity assays using purified alpha and gamma(c) isoforms indicate that the latter negatively modulates alpha isoform activity, possibly by competing for NAD(+) molecules. Our findings have important ramifications for understanding the mood stabilization process and suggest that inositol biosynthesis is a highly regulated and dynamic process.
