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

N-Myristoyl-CoA: protein N-myristoyltransferase (NMT) is the enzyme that catalyses the covalent transfer of myristic acid from myristoyl-CoA to the N-terminal glycine residue of a protein substrate. Subcellular fractionation of bovine brain indicates that NMT activity was located in both the cytosolic and the particulate fraction of the cell. Removal of the particulate fraction resulted in a 2-fold enhancement of NMT activity. Reconstitution of the particulate fraction and cytosolic fraction resulted in inhibition of the elevated cytosolic NMT activity. These results indicated the existence of putative inhibitor(s) activity of NMT located in the particulate fraction of bovine brain. The inhibitor was stable to heat and was identified as a protein, on the basis of its susceptibility to the proteases trypsin and chymotrypsin. Protease degradation first required the delipidation of the particulate fraction. The inhibitor was purified to near-homogeneity by heat treatment, solvent extraction and Sephacryl S-300 gelfiltration column chromatography. The inhibitor was purified 630-fold from the particulate fraction with a 20% yield. The protein inhibitor had an apparent molecular mass of 92 kDa by gel filtration and 71 kDa by SDS/PAGE, indicating the protein is monomeric. The inhibitor did not interact directly with myristoyl-CoA and possessed no protease, thioesterase or demyristoylase activity. Purified inhibitor protein inhibited the formation of 1167 pmol of myristoyl-peptide/min per mg of protein.
