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

The synthesis of apolipoprotein B (apoB) dictates the formation of chylomicrons and very low-density lipoproteins, two major lipoprotein precursors in the human plasma. Despite its biological significance, the mechanism of the assembly of these apoB-containing lipoproteins remains elusive. An essential obstacle is the lack of systems that allow fine dissection of key components during assembly, including nascent apoB peptide, lipids in defined forms, chaperones, and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP). In this study, we used a prokaryotic cell-free expression system to reconstitute early events in the assembly of apoB-containing lipoprotein that involve the N-terminal domains of apoB. Our study shows that N-terminal domains larger than 20.5% of apoB (B20.5) have an intrinsic ability to remodel vesicular phospholipid bilayers into discrete protein-lipid complexes. The presence of appropriate lipid substrates during apoB translation plays a pivotal role for successful lipid recruitment, and similar lipid recruitment fails to occur if the lipids are added posttranslationally. Cotranslational presence of MTP can dramatically promote the folding of B6.4-20.5 and B6.4-22. Furthermore, apoB translated in the presence of MTP retains its phospholipid recruitment capability posttranslationally. Our data suggest that during the synthesis of apoB, the N-terminal domain has a short window for intrinsic phospholipid recruitment, the time frame of which is predetermined by the environment where apoB synthesis occurs. The presence of MTP prolongs this window of time by acting as a chaperone. The absence of either proper lipid substrate or MTP may result in the improper folding of apoB and, consequently, its degradation.
