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

backgroundHomozygous mutations in fibroblast growth factor (FGF23) have recently been described as the genetic cause of one form of hyperphosphatemic tumoral calcinosis (HFTC). However, it remained unclear to date how these mutations lead to loss of biologically active FGF23 in the circulation.

methodsWe here report a novel homozygous mutation, c.385T>C in FGF23 exon 2, which changes codon 129 from serine to proline (S129P) in a previously described individual affected by HFTC. The S129P mutation as well as two known FGF23 mutations, S71G and S129F, were introduced into an expression vector encoding wild-type (wt) human (h) FGF23 to yield [P129]hFGF23, [F129]hFGF23, and [G71]hFGF23; whole lysates, glycoprotein fractions, and conditioned media from HEK293 and COS-7 cells expressing these constructs were subjected to Western blot analysis using affinity-purified goat anti-hFGF23(51-69) and anti-hFGF23(206-222) antibodies.

resultsWe detected 25- and 32-kDa protein species in total lysates of HEK293 cells expressing wt-hFGF23. The 32-kDa band, representing O-glycosylated hFGF23, was not detectable in the glycoprotein fraction of lysates from HEK293 cells expressing [P129]hFGF23, and in comparison with wt-FGF23 only small amounts of [P129]hFGF23 were secreted into the medium. Similar results were obtained for cells expressing [G71]hFGF23 and [F129]hFGF23.

conclusionOur data for the first time directly show that FGF23 mutations associated with HFTC impair O-glycosylation in vitro resulting in poor secretion of the mutant hormone thereby explaining the characteristic hyperphosphatemic phenotype of homozygous carriers in vivo.
