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

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a quantitatively minor membrane phospholipid involved in diverse cellular functions. In this study, we developed a new fluorometric method for measuring PS using combinations of specific enzymes and Amplex Red. The calibration curve for PS measurement was linear and hyperbolic at low (0-50 µM) and high (50-1000 µM) concentrations, respectively, and the detection limit was 5 µM (50 pmol in the reaction mixture). This assay quantified PS regardless of the chain length and the number of double bonds. We applied this new method to the determination of PS content in HEK293 cells, which was validated by a recovery study and comparison with TLC-phosphorus assay. We showed that the PS content was high in sparse cells. The overexpression of PS synthase 1 elevated not only the cellular PS content but also the phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) contents, suggesting the conversion of PS into PE and the enhancement of PC production. This new assay for PS measurement is simple, specific, sensitive, and high throughput, and it will be useful to clarify the metabolism and biological functions of PS.
