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

Metabolic chemical reporters of glycosylation in combination with bioorthogonal reactions have been known for two decades and have been used by many different research laboratories for the identification and visualization of glycoconjugates. More recently, however, they have begun to see utility for the investigation of cellular metabolism and the tolerance of biosynthetic enzymes and glycosyltransferases to different sugars. Here, we take this concept one step further by using the metabolic chemical reporter 6-azido-6-deoxy-glucose (6AzGlc). We show that treatment of mammalian cells with the per- O-acetylated version of 6AzGlc results in robust labeling of a variety of proteins. Notably, the pattern of this labeling was consistent with O-GlcNAc modifications, suggesting that the enzyme O-GlcNAc transferase is quite promiscuous for its donor sugar substrates. To confirm this possibility, we show that 6AzGlc-treatment results in the labeling of known O-GlcNAcylated proteins, that the UDP-6AzGlc donor sugar is indeed produced in living cells, and that recombinant OGT will accept UDP-6AzGlc as a substrate in vitro. Finally, we use proteomics to first identify several bona fide 6AzGlc-modifications in mammalian cells and then an endogenous O-glucose modification on host cell factor. These results support the conclusion that OGT can endogenously modify proteins with both N-acetyl-glucosamine and glucose, raising the possibility that intracellular O-glucose modification may be a widespread modification under certain conditions or in particular tissues.
