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

Wnt/β-catenin signaling regulates critical, context-dependent transcription in numerous physiological events. Among the well-documented mechanisms affecting Wnt/β-catenin activity, modification of N-glycans by L-fucose is the newest and the least understood. Using a combination of Chinese hamster ovary cell mutants with different fucosylation levels and cell-surface fucose editing (in situ fucosylation [ISF]), we report that α(1-3)-fucosylation of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) in the Galβ(1-4)-GlcNAc sequences of complex N-glycans modulates Wnt/β-catenin activity by regulating the endocytosis of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6). Pulse-chase experiments reveal that ISF elevates endocytosis of lipid-raft-localized LRP6, leading to the suppression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Remarkably, Wnt activity decreased by ISF is fully reversed by the exogenously added fucose. The combined data show that in situ cell-surface fucosylation can be exploited to regulate a specific signaling pathway via endocytosis promoted by a fucose-binding protein, thereby linking glycosylation of a receptor with its intracellular signaling.
