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

Glutarate is a platform chemical with diversified applications. It is also an endogenous metabolite involved in various physiological processes. Deficiency in glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GcdH) for glutarate catabolism induces the inherited metabolic disorder glutaric aciduria. In this study, a genetically encoded glutarate fluorescent biosensor Glusor is constructed and optimized based on transcriptional regulator CsiR and circularly permuted yellow fluorescent protein. Glusor can quantify glutarate in human body fluids and bacteria fermentation broth with good accuracy and precision, supporting the convenient diagnosis of glutaric aciduria and glutarate production monitoring. Then, the glutarate transport is characterized independent of radioactive substrate by using Glusor expressed in Escherichia coli. The functions of transporters KgtP and YnfM in the uptake and efflux of glutarate in E. coli are identified. Glusor is also used to reveal the catabolism of glutarate in bacteria and HEK293FT cells. The role of glutarate hydroxylase in glutarate catabolism of E. coli is identified through Glusor-supported in situ glutarate detection. Spatially resolved in vivo analysis of glutarate in HEK293FT cells is realized and GcdH inhibition and hypoxia-induced glutarate accumulation are elucidated by using Glusor. Overall, Glusor is a versatile tool for the detection of glutarate both in vitro and in vivo.
