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

Glutamine is well recognized as critical to the growth of most cell types. Within mitochondria glutamine is converted to glutamate by glutaminase. Oxaloacetate and glutamate then react to form alpha-ketoglutarate (α-KG) and aspartate catalyzed by glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT2) or directly converted to α-KG by glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH). We investigated the role of GOT2 in mediating glutamate metabolism and cell growth in undifferentiated C2C12 cells. CRISPR mediated GOT2 knockout (KO) impaired cell growth, partially overcome by higher concentrations of glutamine. Mitochondrial respiration did not differ between KO and wildtype (WT) cells. Metabolite profiling showed that GOT2KO decreased aspartate by about 50% in KO versus WT cells. In contrast, α-KG increased. Metabolites reflecting the pentose phosphate pathway were significantly increased in KO cells. Metabolic pathway analyses revealed alteration of the TCA cycle, the pentose phosphate pathway, and amino acid metabolism. Glutamine
