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

The phase II metabolism sulfation and glucuronidation, mediated by sulfotransferases (SULTs) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) respectively, are significant metabolic pathways for numerous endo-and xenobiotics. Understanding of SULT/UGT substrate specificity including regioselectivity (i.e., position preference) is of great importance in predicting contribution of sulfation/ glucuronidation to drug and metabolite disposition in vivo. This review summarizes regioselective sulfation and glucuronidation of phenolic compounds with multiple hydroxyl (OH) groups as the potential conjugation sites. The strict regioselective patterns are highlighted for several SULT and UGT isoforms towards flavonoids, a large class of natural polyphenols. To seek for a molecular-level explanation, the enzyme structures (i.e., SULT crystal structures and a homology-modeled UGT structure) combined with molecular docking are employed. In particular, the structural basis for regioselective metabolism of flavonoids by SULT1A3 and UGT1A1 is discussed. It is concluded that the regioselective nature of these phase II enzymes is determined by the size and shape of the binding pocket. While the molecular structures of the enzymes can be used to explain regioselective metabolism regarding the binding property, predicting the turnover at different positions remains a particularly difficult task.
