In Vivo Measurement of Redox-Regulated TG2 Activity.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) is a ubiquitous mammalian enzyme that is implicated in a variety of physiological processes and human diseases. Normally, extracellular TG2 is catalytically dormant due to formation of an allosteric disulphide bond between Cys370 and 371 of the enzyme. In this protocol, we describe a method to reduce this disulphide bond in living mice and to monitor the resulting in vivo TG2 activity. Briefly, exogenous thioredoxin-1 protein (TRX) is prepared and administered as a specific, physiologically relevant reductant of the Cys370-371 disulphide along with the small molecule 5-biotinamidopentylamine (5-BP) as a TG2 activity probe. Tissue cryosections are then analyzed by immunohistochemistry to ascertain the extent of 5-BP incorporation, which serves as a record of the redox state of TG2 in vivo. This protocol focuses on the modulation and measurement of TG2 in the small intestine, but we encourage investigators to evaluate it in their organ(s) of interest.
