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

Rabex-5 targets to early endosomes and functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Rab5. Membrane targeting is critical for Rabex-5 to activate Rab5 on early endosomes in the cell. Here, we report the identification of Rab22 as a binding site on early endosomes for direct recruitment of Rabex-5 and activation of Rab5, establishing a Rab22-Rab5 signaling relay to promote early endosome fusion. Rab22 in guanosine 5'-O-(3-thio)triphosphate-loaded form, but not guanosine diphosphate-loaded form, binds to the early endosomal targeting domain (residues 81-230) of Rabex-5 in pull-down assays. Rabex-5 targets to Rab22-containing early endosomes, and Rab22 knockdown by short hairpin RNA abrogates the membrane targeting of Rabex-5 in the cell. In addition, coexpression of Rab22 and Rab5 shows synergistic enlargement of early endosomes, and this synergy is dependent on Rabex-5, providing further support for the collaboration of the two Rab GTPases in regulation of endosome dynamics. This novel Rab22-Rabex-5-Rab5 cascade is functionally important for the endocytosis and degradation of epidermal growth factor.
