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

Gentamicin is a member of aminoglycoside group of broad spectrum antibiotics. It impairs protein synthesis by binding to A site of the 30S subunit of bacterial ribosomes. One of the main side effects of this drug is nephrotoxicity. The drug is known to bind to calreticulin, a chaperone essential for the folding of glycosylated proteins. We provide a detailed structural insight of the calreticulin-gentamicin complex by molecular modeling and the binding of the drug in the presence of explicit solvent was analyzed by molecular dynamics simulation. The gentamicin molecule binds to the lectin site of the calreticulin and lies in the concave channel formed by the long beta sheets. It makes interactions with residues Tyr109, Asp125, Asp135, Asp317 and Trp319 which are crucial for the chaperone function of the calreticulin. The superimposing of the modeled complex with the only available crystal structure complex of calreticulin with a tetrasaccharide (Glc(1)Man(3)) shows interesting features. First, the rings of the gentamicin occupy the positions of glucose and the first two mannose sugars of the tetrasaccharide molecule. Second, the oxygen atoms of the glycosidic linkage of these two ligands have a positional deviation of 1.3 Ǻ. The predicted binding constant of 16.9 μM is in accordance with the previous kinetic study experiments. The details therefore, strongly implicate gentamicin as a competitive inhibitor of sugar binding with calreticulin.
