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

Cytosolic glutathione S-transferase (GST) isoenzymes from brain, heart, lung, liver, kidney and gonads of male and female CD-1 mice were identified and quantified with a combination of affinity purification, electrospray ionization MS, Edman microsequencing, Western blot analysis and reverse-phase HPLC. The three principal hepatic GST subunits, mGSTA3 (25271 Da), mGSTP1 (23478 Da), and mGSTM1 (25839 Da), were isolated from liver, lung, kidney, testes and female heart, whereas brain, ovaries and male heart contained mGSTM1 and mGSTP1. Additional isoenzymes were detected in tissues, including mu class subunits mGSTM2 (25580 Da) and mGSTM3 (25570 Da), an N-terminally blocked Alpha subunit (25480 Da) assigned as mGSTA4, and proteins of molecular masses 25490, 22540, 24493, 24378 and 25383 Da. Distinct gender differences in expression of GST subunits were observed for liver, heart, kidney and gonads, whereas GST expression was similar in brain and lung for both genders. In contrast with patterns of expression in liver (high ratio of mGSTA3 to mGSTP1 in females relative to males), mGSTP1 was the most abundant subunit in female gonads, whereas mGSTA3 was not present in detectable quantities. The profile of GST expression in kidney was similar to that in liver; however, male kidneys expressed 30% more soluble GST than female kidneys. A striking gender-related difference in GST expression was found in cardiac tissue, where female animals expressed 50% more soluble GST than male tissues, and the GST isoenzyme with the greatest documented activity towards lipid hydroperoxides, mGSTA3, was present in female tissue yet absent from male tissue. These results point to complex gender- and tissue-dependent expression of individual mouse GST isoenzymes.
