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

backgroundCongenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) patients share a basic feature of protein hypoglycosylation. Activity of growth factors and their receptors, glycoproteins playing a pivotal role during child development, remains unexplored in CDG patients.

methodsPeripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) isolated from 9 CDG patients and 12 healthy controls were cultured in the presence of fetal bovine serum (FBS), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and BrdU incorporation was measured. Levels of plasma IGF-1 and PBL IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) and its glycosylation were detected using immunoassay and western blot.

resultsCDG patients showed significantly less (P < 0.01) serum-induced 5'-Bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation in PBL than in controls. PDGF-/FGF-stimulated BrdU incorporation showed no difference in patients and controls, whereas IGF-1-induced DNA synthesis was significantly (P < 0.01) less in patients. Plasma IGF-1 levels and PBL IGF-1 receptor protein were significantly (P < 0.01) reduced in patients as compared to controls. IGF-1 receptor in PBL of all CDG patients had significantly (P < 0.01) reduced carbohydrate content when compared with control.

conclusionsThese results show selective impairment of IGF-1-induced DNA synthesis in lymphocytes of CDG patients through decreased gene expression and hypoglycosylation of the IGF-1 receptor.
