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

Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) is a Zn(2+) metalloprotease with a characteristic inverted catalytic motif. IDE is ubiquitously expressed and degrades peptide substrates including insulin, endorphin, and the amyloid-β peptide. Although IDE is mainly expressed in the cytosol, it can also be found on the cell surface and in secreted form in extracellular fluids. As IDE lacks a characteristic signal sequence that targets the protein to the classical secretory pathway, release of the enzyme involves non-conventional mechanisms. However, functional domains of IDE involved in its secretion remain elusive. By bioinformatical, biochemical, and cell biological methods, we identified a novel amino acid motif ((853)EKPPHY(858)) close to the C terminus of IDE and characterized its function in the non-conventional secretion of the protein. Because of its close homology to an amino acid sequence found in bacterial proteins belonging to the SlyX family, we propose to call it the SlyX motif. Mutagenesis revealed that deletion of this motif strongly decreased the release of IDE, whereas deletion of a potential microbody-targeting signal at the extreme C terminus had little effect on secretion. The combined data indicate that the non-conventional secretion of IDE is regulated by the newly identified SlyX motif.
