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

Extracellular UDP-sugars promote cellular responses by interacting with widely distributed P2Y(14) receptors, but the mechanisms by which these molecules are released from cells are poorly understood. Given the active role of UDP-sugars in glycosylation reactions within the secretory pathway, we hypothesized that UDP-sugar release includes an exocytotic component. This hypothesis was tested by assessing the contribution of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/Golgi-resident UDP-GlcNAc transporters to the cellular release of their cognate substrates. A sensitive and highly selective assay for UDP-GlcNAc mass was developed using purified AGX2, an isoenzyme of human UDP-GlcNAc pyrophosphorylase. Robust constitutive release of UDP-GlcNAc was observed in yeast as well as in well differentiated human airway epithelial cells. The human UDP-GlcNAc transporter HFRC1 was overexpressed in human bronchial epithelial cells and was shown to localize in the Golgi and to enhance the surface expression of N-acetylglucosamine-rich glycans. HFRC1-overexpressing cells also displayed increased constitutive and hypotonic stress-stimulated release of UDP-GlcNAc. Yeast mutants lacking Yea4 (the ER UDP-GlcNAc transporter endogenously expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae) showed reduced UDP-GlcNAc release. Yea4-deficient cells complemented with Yea4 showed UDP-GlcNAc release rates at levels similar to or higher than wild type cells. Our results illustrate that ER/Golgi lumen constitutes a significant source of extracellular UDP-sugars and therefore plays a critical role in nucleotide sugar-promoted cell signaling.
