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

UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase 1 (UGT1) serves as a folding sensor in the calnexin/calreticulin glycoprotein quality control cycle. UGT1 recognizes disordered or hydrophobic patches near asparagine-linked nonglucosylated glycans in partially misfolded glycoproteins and reglucosylates them, returning folding intermediates to the cycle. In this study, we examine the contribution of the UGT1-regulated quality control mechanism to MHC I antigen presentation. Using UGT1-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts reconstituted or not with UGT1, we show that, although formation of the peptide loading complex is unaffected by the absence of UGT1, the surface level of MHC class I molecules is reduced, MHC class I maturation and assembly are delayed, and peptide selection is impaired. Most strikingly, we show using purified soluble components that UGT1 preferentially recognizes and reglucosylates MHC class I molecules associated with a suboptimal peptide. Our data suggest that, in addition to the extensively studied tapasin-mediated quality control mechanism, UGT1 adds a new level of control in the MHC class I antigen presentation pathway.
