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 S-transferases (GSTs) of rat olfactory epithelium have been characterized with regard to substrate specificity and subunit composition and compared to those of the liver. The presence of cytosolic GST activity in rat olfactory epithelium was confirmed and, using 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene as substrate, was found to be approximately one-third that of the liver. Olfactory microsomal GST activity was greater than that of liver microsomes and could be activated by treatment with the sulphydryl agent N-ethylmaleimide. The subunit and isoenzyme profile of GSTs in the olfactory epithelium was investigated using a number of techniques. (1) Olfactory GSTs were characterized using a range of relatively subunit-specific substrates. Activities ranged from 40-90% of those found in liver. Most noticeable was the extremely low olfactory activity with the substrate specific for subunit 1. (2) Immunoblotting with antibodies against specific rat hepatic GSTs confirmed the presence of a number of subunits and the absence of subunit 1. (3) F.p.l.c. chromatofocusing and reverse-phase h.p.l.c. indicated that the cytosolic GST profile of olfactory epithelium is unique and is made up of subunits 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 and 11 with subunits 3 and 4 predominating. There is an absence of isoenzymes containing subunit 1.
