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

Previous experiments with Saccharomyces cerevisiae had suggested that diacylglycerol-containing glycosylphosphatidylinositols (GPIs) are added to newly synthesized proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and that ceramides subsequently are incorporated into GPI proteins by lipid remodeling. Here we prove this hypothesis by labeling yeast cells with [3H]dihydrosphingosine ([3H]DHS) and showing that this tracer is incorporated into many GPI proteins even when protein synthesis and, hence, anchor addition, is blocked by cycloheximide. [3H]DHS incorporation is greatly enhanced if endogenous synthesis of DHS is inhibited by myriocin. Labeled GPI anchors contain three types of ceramides which, based on previous and present results, are identified as DHS-C26:0, phytosphingosine-C26:0 and phytosphingosine-C26:0-OH, the latter being found only on proteins which have reached the Golgi. Lipid remodeling can occur both in the ER and in a later secretory compartment. In addition, ceramide is incorporated into GPI proteins a long time after their initial synthesis by a process in which one ceramide gets replaced by another ceramide. Remodeling outside the ER requires vesicular flow from the ER to the Golgi, possibly to supply the remodeling enzymes with ceramides.
