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

We show that a physiological role of the extensively studied cisternal Golgi rab protein, rab6, is modulation of Golgi apparatus response to stress. Taking exposure of cells to hypotonic media as the best-known example of mammalian Golgi stress response, we found that hypotonic-induced tubule extension from the Golgi apparatus was sensitive to GDP-rab6a expression. Similarly, we found that Golgi tubulation induced by brefeldin A, a known microtubule-dependent process, was inhibited by GDP-restricted rab6a, rab6a', and rab33b, the most commonly studied cisternal rab proteins. These GDP-rab levels were sufficient to inhibit rab-induced redistribution of Golgi glycosyltransferases into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), also a microtubule-dependent process, and to depress Golgi membrane association of the GTP-conformer of rab6. Nocodazole-induced Golgi scattering, a microtubule-independent process, also was inhibited by GDP-rab6a expression. In comparison, we found similar GDP-rab expression levels had little inhibitory effect on another microtubule-independent process, constitutive recycling of Golgi resident proteins to the ER. We conclude that Golgi cisternal rabs, and in particular rab6a, are regulators of the Golgi response to stress and presumably the molecular targets of stress-activated signaling pathway(s). Moreover, we conclude that rab6a can regulate select microtubule-independent processes as well as microtubule-dependent processes.
