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

Inositol is an essential nutrient for most living organisms, as combinatorial phosphorylation on this cyclic sugar generates key cellular messengers, such as lipid-bound phosphoinositides (PtdInsPs), water-soluble inositol phosphates (InsPs), and high-energy inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs). Although the kinases and phosphatases modifying inositol-derived molecules are well-characterised, the molecular pathways controlling the cellular homeostasis of the inositol backbone and transport carriers remain unclear. Using a combination of LC-MS analysis and a screen based on the inositol-exporting opi1Δ mutant yeast, we here discovered that inositol export is tightly regulated by PP-InsPs and that the high-affinity phosphate transporter Pho84 also acts as an inositol exporter. We further expanded these observations to the mammalian system and revealed that inositol export in human cells is similarly controlled by PP-InsPs, and that the human homolog of the yeast Pho84, GLUT2, contributes to inositol export. In summary, we discovered an evolutionarily conserved crosstalk pathway linking PP-InsPs to both phosphate and inositol homeostasis.
