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 addition to its role in selective protein degradation, the conjugation of ubiquitin to proteins has also been implicated in the internalization of plasma membrane proteins, including the alpha-factor receptor Ste2p, uracil permease Fur4p, epithelial sodium channel ENaC and the growth hormone receptor (GHR). Binding of GH to its receptor induces receptor dimerization, resulting in the activation of signal transduction pathways and an increase of GHR ubiquitination. Previously, we have shown that the ubiquitin conjugation system mediates GH-induced GHR internalization. Here, we present evidence that a specific domain of the GHR regulates receptor endocytosis via the ubiquitin conjugation system. This ubiquitin-dependent endocytosis (UbE) motif consists of the amino acid sequence DSWVEFIELD and is homologous to sequences in other proteins, several of which are known to be ubiquitinated. In addition, we show that GH internalization by a truncated GHR is independent of the presence of lysine residues in the cytosolic domain of this receptor, while internalization still depends on an intact ubiquitin conjugation system. Thus, GHR internalization requires the recruitment of the ubiquitin conjugation system to the GHR UbE motif rather than the conjugation of ubiquitin to the GHR itself.
