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

Arachidonic acid lipoxygenases (ALOX-isoforms) have been implicated in cell differentiation and in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Human ALOX-isoforms prefer free polyunsaturated fatty acids as substrate but some of them are also capable of oxygenating complex ester lipids. Here we compared the reactivity of mammalian ALOX isoforms with complex lipid structures, explored the chemistry of the oxygenation products and characterized the structure of the enzyme-substrate complexes. We found that human and mouse ALOX15 orthologs as well as human ALOX15B are capable of oxidizing complex substates in the absence of adapter proteins and that the patterns of oxygenation products were similar to those of free fatty acid oxygenation. In contrast, the corresponding activities of mouse Alox15b and human ALOX12 were limited. Specific lipoxygenase products were also detected in the plasma lipids of mice with modified ALOX15 gene suggesting the in vivo activity of the enzyme on complex ester lipid substrates.
