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

N-glycosylation mediates many biological functions. Genetic defects in the N-glycosylation pathway cause >35 inherited human disorders called congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs). As a result, some N-glycosylation sites are unoccupied. Serum transferrin is a diagnostic marker for these patients, but there are no corresponding cellular markers to assess glycosylation competence. Therefore, we engineered a green fluorescent protein (GFP) construct to measure N-glycosylation site occupancy. We designed an endoplasmic reticulum-retained GFP biomarker whose fluorescence is lost when it is N-glycosylated due to steric hindrance by the glycan. This marker is a highly sensitive indicator of N-glycosylation site occupancy. In CDG cells carrying the GFP construct, a 25% decrease of glycosylation efficiency induces a 5-fold increase in fluorescence, while cDNA complementation of the genetic defect results in a 5-fold decrease in fluorescence. This engineered GFP detects impaired N-glycosylation in multiple cell lines, including CHO cells, HeLa cells, normal and patient fibroblasts, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). This marker is a highly sensitive tool to study N-glycosylation site occupancy. It can be used to screen for compounds that reverse poor N-glycosylation site occupancy.
