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

An IMP-hydrolysing enzyme was purified to homogeneity from yeast extract. It was a soluble protein with an apparent molecular mass of 220 kDa, with a subunit molecular mass of 55 kDa. It was highly specific for IMP, and there was virtually no detectable activity with the other purine and pyrimidine nucleotides tested, including AMP and dIMP. The enzyme had a pH optimum of 6.0-6.5. Its activity was absolutely dependent on bivalent metal salts: Mg2+ was most potent, followed by Co2+ and Mn2+. The velocity/substrate-concentration plot of the enzyme was slightly sigmoidal (h = 1.7) and the s0.5 was 0.4 mM. ATP stimulated the enzyme by decreasing both h and s0.5. Diadenosine tetraphosphate stimulated the enzyme as effectively as ATP. Although the properties of the enzyme are similar to those of the IMP/GMP 5'-nucleotidase identified in various animals [Itoh (1993) Comp. Biochem. Physiol. 105B, 13-19], the substrate specificity of the former was much more strict than the latter.
