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 formation of transport vesicles that bud from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) exit sites is dependent on the COPII coat made up of three components: the small GTPase Sar1, the Sec23/24 complex, and the Sec13/31 complex. Here, we provide evidence that apoptosis-linked gene 2 (ALG-2), a Ca(2+)-binding protein of unknown function, regulates the COPII function at ER exit sites in mammalian cells. ALG-2 bound to the Pro-rich region of Sec31A, a ubiquitously expressed mammalian orthologue of yeast Sec31, in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner and colocalized with Sec31A at ER exit sites. A Ca(2+) binding-deficient ALG-2 mutant, which did not bind Sec31A, lost the ability to localize to ER exit sites. Overexpression of the Pro-rich region of Sec31A or RNA interference-mediated Sec31A depletion also abolished the ALG-2 localization at these sites. In contrast, depletion of ALG-2 substantially reduced the level of Sec31A associated with the membrane at ER exit sites. Finally, treatment with a cell-permeable Ca(2+) chelator caused the mislocalization of ALG-2, which was accompanied by a reduced level of Sec31A at ER exit sites. We conclude that ALG-2 is recruited to ER exit sites via Ca(2+)-dependent interaction with Sec31A and in turn stabilizes the localization of Sec31A at these sites.
