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

Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) is a highly regulated key enzyme that catalyzes the reversible oxidative deamination of glutamate to α-ketoglutarate, positioning it at a critical hub linking amino acid catabolism to energy production while supplying ammonia for urea synthesis and other nitrogen pathways. Early investigations have shown that bovine GDH (bGDH), which shares 98% sequence identity with its human homolog, assembles into polymeric filaments with altered allosteric responses. Filamentation has only relatively recently been appreciated as a widespread mechanism of enzyme regulation, prompting a reevaluation of these early observations in GDH. Here, we use high-resolution cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to show that bGDH hexamers assemble via reciprocal "antenna" interactions that oppose the conformational changes associated with GTP inhibition, revealing how filamentation reshapes GDH allostery and with implications for the treatment of human disease.
