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

background and purposeThe human organic anion transporter (hOAT) family of transmembrane carrier proteins mediate the cellular flux of anionic substances, including certain hormones and anti-cancer drugs. hOAT4 is highly expressed at the apical membrane of the renal tubular cell and facilitates drug re-absorption in the kidney. In the present study, the impact of 10 nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of hOAT4 on transport function in COS-7 cells was characterized. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Transport uptake assay was used to assess the function of the variant transporters. Cell surface biotinylation and western blot analysis were used to investigate the expression characteristics of the transporter proteins. Comparative modelling was used to interpret the influence of nonsynonymous changes in terms of hOAT4 structure. KEY

resultsFour naturally occurring hOAT4 variants (L29P, R48Y, V155G and T392I) exhibited a significant loss of function. Substitution of leucine-29, which is a conserved residue in OATs, with a proline residue, impaired the synthesis or the apparent stability of the transporter and membrane insertion was disrupted in the R48Y variant. In the case of the V155G and T392I variants, impaired function was due to decreased affinity of the transporter for oestrone sulphate and impaired transporter-substrate turnover respectively. The T392I variant was inhibited more extensively than the wild-type transporter by the cationic substrate tetraethyl ammonium. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Several naturally occurring SNPs encode variant hOAT4s that may impair the renal tubular re-absorption of important drug substrates.
