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

A new polymorphic form of glutathione S-transferase (GST), metabolising monohalogenated methanes, ethylene oxide and dichloromethane, has been purified from human erythrocytes and characterized. Several characteristics, such as similar elution patterns on different chromatographic matrices, KM-values and activity towards antibodies, confirm a previous assumption that this novel GST is a class theta enzyme. Although the presence or absence of the enzyme activity in human red blood cells is parallel with the polymorphism of the human GST T1 gene, the new GST theta in red blood cells may differ from the known GST T1-1 enzyme from other tissues in terms of substrate specificity, since established GST T1-1 substrates [1,2-epoxy-3-(p-nitro-phenoxy)propane and p-nitro-benzyl chloride] are not metabolized. The substrate specificity of the new enzyme in erythrocytes resembles more closely that of GST T2-2, most likely due to a common N-terminal modification which modifies substrate binding. The new polymorphic GST-isoform in human red blood cells therefore may be considered to represent an N-terminally modified isoform of GST T1-1.
