Sulfotransferase 4A1 Increases Its Expression in Mouse Neurons as They Mature.
Article in Drug metabolism and disposition: the biological fate of chemicals, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Cytosolic sulfotransferases (SULTs) catalyze sulfation and play essential roles in detoxification of xenobiotics as well as inactivation of endobiotics. SULT4A1, which was originally isolated as a brain-specific sulfotransferase, is the most highly conserved isoform among SULTs in vertebrates. Here, expression of SULT4A1 was examined neuron enriched and neuron-glia mixed cells derived from mouse embryo brains at day 14 gestation and mixed glia from 2-day-old neonate brains. Western blots showed an increase of SULT4A1 expression as neurons maturated. Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and agarose gel analysis found two different forms (variant and wild type) of SULT4A1 mRNA in neurons; the level of wild type correlated with the protein level of SULT4A1. SULT1E1 was not expressed in mouse brains, neuron-enriched cells, or mixed glia cells. SULT1A1 protein was only detected in adult brains. Immunofluorescence staining of neuron-glia mixed cells confirmed selective expression of SULT4A1 in neurons, including dopaminergic neurons, but not in either astrocytes or microglia. Thus, SULT4A1 is a neuron-specific sulfotransferase and may play a role in neuronal development.
