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 ABCD1 protein, one of the four ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins in subfamily D, is located on the peroxisomal membrane and is involved in the transport of very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA)-CoA into peroxisomes. Its mutation causes X-linked adrenoleukodystophy (X-ALD): an inborn error of peroxisomal β-oxidation of VLCFA. Whether ABCD1 transports VLCFA-CoA as a CoA ester or free fatty acid is controversial. Recently, Comatose (CTS), a plant homologue of human ABCD1, has been shown to possess acyl-CoA thioesterase (ACOT) activity, and it is suggested that this activity is required for transport of acyl-CoA into peroxisomes. However, the precise transport mechanism is unknown. Here, we expressed human His-tagged ABCD1 in methylotrophic yeast, and characterized its ACOT activity and transport mechanism. The expressed ABCD1 possessed both ATPase and ACOT activities. The ACOT activity of ABCD1 was inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoic acid (pCMB), a cysteine-reactive compound. Furthermore, we performed a transport assay with ABCD1-containing liposomes using 7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl (NBD)-labeled acyl-CoA as the substrate. The results showed that the fatty acid produced from VLCFA-CoA by ABCD1 is transported into liposomes and that ACOT activity is essential during this transport process. We propose a detailed mechanism of VLCFA-CoA transport by ABCD1.
