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 glutathione transferases (GSTs) form a group of enzymes responsible for a wide range of molecular detoxications. The photoaffinity label S-(2-nitro-4-azidophenyl)glutathione was used to study the hydrophobic region of the active site of the rat liver GST 1-1 and 2-2 isoenzymes (class Alpha) as well as the rat class-Mu GST 3-3. Photoaffinity labelling was carried out using a version of S-(2-nitro-4-azidophenyl)glutathione tritiated in the arylazido ring. The labelling occurred with higher levels of radioisotope incorporation for the Mu than the Alpha families. Taking rat GST 3-3, 1.18 (+/- 0.05) mol of radiolabel from S-(2-nitro-4-azidophenyl)glutathione was incorporated per mol of dimeric enzyme, which could be blocked by the presence of the strong competitive inhibitor, S-tritylglutathione (Ki = 1.4 x 10(-7) M). Radiolabelling of the protein paralleled the loss of enzyme activity. Photoaffinity labelling by tritiated S-(2-nitro-4-azidophenyl)glutathione on a preparative scale (in the presence and absence of S-tritylglutathione) followed by tryptic digestion and purification of the labelled peptides indicated that GST 3-3 was specifically photolabelled; the labelled peptides were sequenced. Similarly, preparative photoaffinity labelling by S-(2-nitro-4-azidophenyl)glutathione of the rat liver 1-1 isoenzyme, the human GST A1-1 and the human-rat chimaeric GST, H1R1/1, was carried out with subsequent sequencing of radiolabelled h.p.l.c.-purified tryptic peptides. The results were interpreted by means of molecular-graphics analysis to locate photoaffinity-labelled peptides using the X-ray-crystallographic co-ordinates of rat GST 3-3 and human GST A1-1. The molecular-graphical analysis indicated that the labelled peptides are located within the immediate vicinity of the region occupied by S-substituted glutathione derivatives bound in the active-site cavity of the GSTs investigated.
