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

Expression of the type II membrane proteins of the rbAT/4F2hc family in Xenopus laevis oocytes results in the induction of amino acid transport activity. To elucidate the mechanism of action, amino acid transport was investigated in oocytes expressing the surface antigen 4F2hc. Leucine transport was mediated by a Na+-independent and a Na+-dependent transport mechanism. Both systems could be further discriminated by their stereochemical constraints. Isoleucine, with a branch at the beta-position, shared only the Na+-independent transport system with leucine. Both transport systems were sensitive to inhibition by arginine, but only the Na+-independent system was sensitive to inhibition by 2-aminobicyclo[2,2,1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid. When compared with known transport systems the two transport activities could be described as similar to, but not identical with, mammalian systems b0,+ and y+L. The Na+-independent b0,+-like transport system was found both in rbAT and 4F2hc expressing oocytes, indicating that both proteins act in a similar way.
