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 functional link between glycolipid glycosyltransferases (GT) relies on the ability of these proteins to form organized molecular complexes. The organization, stoichiometry and composition of these complexes may impact their sorting properties, sub-Golgi localization, and may determine relative efficiency of GT in different glycolipid biosynthetic pathways. In this work, by using Förster resonance energy transfer microscopy in live CHO-K1 cells, we investigated homo- and hetero-complex formation by different GT as well as their spatial organization and molecular stoichiometry on Golgi membranes. We find that GalNAcT and GalT2 Ntd are able to form hetero-complexes in a 1:2 molar ratio at the trans-Golgi network and that GalT2 but not GalNAcT forms homo-complexes. Also, GalNAcT/GalT2 complexes exhibit a stable behavior reflected by its clustered lateral organization. These results reveals that particular topological organization of GTs may have functional implications in determining the composition of glycolipids in cellular membranes.
