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

Glutathionylation plays a central role in cellular redox regulation and anti-oxidative defence. Grx (Glutaredoxins) are primarily responsible for reversing glutathionylation and their activity therefore affects a range of cellular processes, making them prime candidates for computational systems biology studies. However, two distinct kinetic mechanisms involving either one (monothiol) or both (dithiol) active-site cysteines have been proposed for their deglutathionylation activity and initial studies predicted that computational models based on either of these mechanisms will have different structural and kinetic properties. Further, a number of other discrepancies including the relative activity of active-site mutants and contrasting reciprocal plot kinetics have also been reported for these redoxins. Using kinetic modelling, we show that the dithiol and monothiol mechanisms are identical and, we were also able to explain much of the discrepant data found within the literature on Grx activity and kinetics. Moreover, our results have revealed how an apparently futile side-reaction in the monothiol mechanism may play a significant role in regulating Grx activity in vivo.
