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

CblC is involved in an early step in cytoplasmic cobalamin processing following entry of the cofactor into the cytoplasm. CblC converts the cobalamin cargo arriving from the lysosome to a common cob(II)alamin intermediate, which can be subsequently converted to the biologically active forms. Human CblC exhibits glutathione (GSH)-dependent alkyltransferase activity and flavin-dependent reductive decyanation activity with cyanocobalamin (CNCbl). In this study, we discovered two new GSH-dependent activities associated with the Caenorhabditis elegans CblC for generating cob(II)alamin: decyanation of CNCbl and reduction of aquocobalamin (OH2Cbl). We subsequently found that human CblC also catalyzes GSH-dependent decyanation of CNCbl and reduction of OH2Cbl, albeit efficiently only under anaerobic conditions. The air sensitivity of the human enzyme suggests interception by oxygen during the single-electron transfer step from GSH to CNCbl. These newly discovered GSH-dependent single-electron transfer reactions expand the repertoire of catalytic activities supported by CblC, a versatile B12-processing enzyme.
