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 major histocompatibility complex class II associated invariant chain (Ii) has been shown to inhibit endocytic transport and to increase the size of endosomes. We have recently found that this property has a significant impact on antigen processing and presentation. Here, we show in a cell-free endosome fusion assay that expression of Ii can increase fusion after phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity is blocked by wortmannin. In live cells wortmannin was also not able to block formation of the Ii-induced enlarged endosomes. The effects of Ii on endosomal transport and morphology depend on elements within the cytoplasmic tail. Data from mutagenesis analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance-based structure calculations of the Ii cytoplasmic tail demonstrate that free negative charges that are not involved in internal salt bridges are essential for both interactions between the tails and for the formation of enlarged endosomes. This correlation indicates that it is interactions between the Ii cytoplasmic tails that are involved in endosome fusion. The combined data from live cells, cell-free assays, and molecular dynamic simulations suggest that Ii molecules on different vesicles can promote endosome docking and fusion and thereby control endosomal traffic of membrane proteins and endosomal content.
