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

In humans, deficient thyroglobulin (Tg, the thyroid prohormone) is an important cause of congenital hypothyroid goiter; further, homozygous mice expressing two cog/cog alleles (linked to the Tg locus) exhibit the same phenotype. Tg mutations might affect multiple different steps in thyroid hormone synthesis; however, the microscopic and biochemical phenotype tends to involve enlargement of the thyroid ER and accumulation of protein bands of M(r) < 100. To explore further the cell biology of this autosomal recessive illness, we have examined the folding and intracellular transport of newly synthesized Tg in cog/cog thyroid tissue. We find that mutant mice synthesize a full-length Tg, which appears to undergo normal N-linked glycosylation and glucose trimming. Nevertheless, in the mutant, Tg is deficient in the folding that leads to homodimerization, and there is a deficiency in the quantity of intracellular Tg transported to the distal portion of the secretory pathway. Indeed, we find that the underlying disorder in cog/cog mice is a thyroid ER storage disease, in which a temperature-sensitive Tg folding defect, in conjunction with normal ER quality control mechanisms, leads to defective Tg export. In relation to quality control, we find that the physiological response in this illness includes the specific induction of five molecular chaperones in the thyroid ER. Based on the pattern of chaperone binding, different potential roles for individual chaperones are suggested in glycoprotein folding, retention, and degradation in this ER storage disease.
