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

Debranching is a critical step in the mobilization of the important energy store glycogen. In eukaryotes, including fungi and animals, the highly conserved glycogen-debranching enzyme (GDE) debranches glycogen by a glucanotransferase (GT) reaction followed by a glucosidase (GC) reaction. Previous work indicated that these reactions are catalyzed by two active sites located more than 50 Å apart and provided insights into their catalytic mechanisms and substrate recognition. Here, five crystal structures of GDE in complex with oligosaccharides with 4-9 glucose residues are presented. The data suggest that the glycogen main chain plays a critical role in binding to the GT and GC active sites of GDE and that a minimum of five main-chain residues are required for optimal binding.
