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 essential micronutrient zinc is known to inhibit gastric acid secretion (GAS), where its homeostasis is strictly regulated. We hypothesized that the gastric bitter taste receptors, TAS2Rs, regulate the following: (i) zinc-modulated proton secretory activity (PSA) as a key mechanism of GAS and (ii) zinc homeostasis in immortalized parietal cells. To confirm this hypothesis, human gastric tumor cells (HGT-1) were exposed to 100-1000 µM of zinc salts for 30 min in order to quantitate their TAS2R-dependent PSA and intracellular zinc concentration using a fluorescence-based pH sensor and ICP-MS, respectively. Thereby, we identified TAS2R43 as a key player in parietal cell PSA and zinc homeostasis, with both conclusions being verified by a CRISPR-Cas9 knockout approach. Moreover, by regulating the zinc importer protein ZIP14, TAS2R43 proved to perform a protective role against excessive zinc accumulation in immortalized parietal cells.
