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

A family of NADPH-dependent flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMOs; EC 1.14.13.8) mediate the oxygenation of various N-containing molecules. Human FMO3 and FMO1 are the major hepatic and renal forms, respectively; monkey, dog, and pig FMO3 and FMO1 have also been identified. Triethylamine has been found in the urine of manufacturing workers. Although triethylamine was predicted to be metabolized by N-oxygenation by human FMO3 because of its classic base dissociation constant, enzymatic role of FMOs in triethylamine N-oxygenation remains to be investigated. Consequently, triethylamine N-oxygenation was investigated with FMO1/3 enzyme sources. The rate of triethylamine N-oxygenation mediated by human liver microsomes was similar to that mediated by human kidney microsomes. In contrast, the rates of triethylamine N-oxygenation by monkey, dog, and minipig liver microsomes were higher than those by kidney microsomes. Human liver microsomal triethylamine N-oxygenation was extensively suppressed by preheating liver microsomes at 45 °C for 5 minutes, suggesting a major role of FMOs in triethylamine N-oxygenation. Recombinant human, monkey, and dog FMO3 efficiently mediated triethylamine N-oxygenation, whereas only pig FMO1 exhibited this activity. Human liver microsomes and recombinant FMO3 showed similar K
