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

Hyperammonemia is a key pathological feature of hepatic encephalopathy (HE), yet its associated protein glycosylation remains incompletely understood. Here, we used whole mouse brain tissues from a hyperammonemia mouse model and astrocytes to conduct a comprehensive analysis of glycosylation changes and the corresponding enzyme associated with ammonia. The upregulation of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc), mediated by O-GlcNAc transferase, was identified as a response to ammonia stimulation in astrocytes through a mechanism independent of glutamine synthesis and NADPH oxidase. These findings identify O-GlcNAc as an ammonia-sensitive post-translational modification that is associated with hyperammonemia. This study provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms of HE and suggests the potential role of O-GlcNAc as a therapeutic target warranting further investigation.
