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

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is synthesised as a prohormone (proIGF-1) requiring enzymatic activity to yield the mature IGF-1. Three proIGF-1s are encoded by alternatively spliced IGF-1 mRNAs: proIGF-1Ea, proIGF-1Eb and proIGF-1Ec. These proIGF-1s have a common IGF-1 mature sequence but different E-domains. The structure of the E-domains has not been resolved, and their molecular functions are still unclear. Here, we show that E-domains are Intrinsically Disordered Regions that have distinct regulatory functions on proIGF-1s production. In particular, we identified a highly conserved N-glycosylation site in the Ea-domain, which regulated intracellular proIGF-1Ea level preventing its proteasome-mediated degradation. The inhibition of N-glycosylation by tunicamycin or glucose starvation markedly reduced proIGF-1Ea and mature IGF-1 production. Interestingly, 2-deoxyglucose, a glucose and mannose analogue, increased proIGF-1Ea and mature IGF-1 levels, probably leading to an accumulation of an under-glycosylated proIGF-1Ea that was still stable and efficiently secreted. The proIGF-1Eb and proIGF-1Ec were devoid of N-glycosylation sites, and hence their production was unaffected by N-glycosylation inhibitors. Moreover, we demonstrated that alternative Eb- and Ec-domains controlled the subcellular localisation of proIGF-1s, leading to the nuclear accumulation of both proIGF-1Eb and proIGF-1Ec. Our results demonstrated that E-domains are regulatory elements that control IGF-1 production and secretion.
