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

The modification in the Golgi of N-glycans by N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (GlcNAc-TI, MGAT1) can be considered to be a hallmark of multicellular eukaryotes as it is found in all metazoans and plants, but rarely in unicellular organisms. The enzyme is key for the normal processing of N-glycans to either complex or paucimannosidic forms, both of which are found in the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Unusually, this organism has three different GlcNAc-TI genes (gly-12, gly-13 and gly-14); therefore, a complete abolition of GlcNAc-TI activity required the generation of a triple knock-out strain. Previously, the compositions of N-glycans from this mutant were described, but no detailed structures. Using an off-line HPLC-MALDI-TOF-MS approach combined with exoglycosidase digestions and MS/MS, we reveal that the multiple hexose residues of the N-glycans of the gly-12;gly-13;gly-14 triple mutant are not just mannose, but include galactoses in three different positions (β-intersecting, β-bisecting and α-terminal) on isomeric forms of Hex
