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

We have recently found that the neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y expresses a novel form of phosphate activated glutaminase (PAG) which deamidates glutamine to glutamate and ammonia at high rates. Glutamate production is enhanced during the exponential phase of growth, and decreases when cell proliferation stops. Neuroblastoma PAG exists in a soluble and membrane associated form, and both the phosphate and the glutamine kinetics, as well as the effects of ammonia and glutamate are different from those of the known forms of PAG. Neuroblastoma PAG is mitochondrial, and our immunoblotting analyses of isolated mitochondria shows that our C-terminal antibody reacts with a protein of 65 kDa, while our N-terminal antibody primarily labels a protein of 58 kDa and to a minor degree one of 65 kDa. This strongly suggests that neuroblastoma cells mainly contain an active isoform of PAG lacking the C-terminal end, probably the GAC form.
