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

Ferlins are an ancient family of C2 domain-containing proteins, with emerging roles in vesicular trafficking and human disease. Dysferlin mutations cause inherited muscular dystrophy, and dysferlin also shows abnormal plasma membrane expression in other forms of muscular dystrophy. We establish dysferlin as a short-lived (protein half-life approximately 4-6 h) and transitory transmembrane protein (plasma membrane half-life approximately 3 h), with a propensity for rapid endocytosis when mutated, and an association with a syntaxin-4 endocytic route. Dysferlin plasma membrane expression and endocytic rate is regulated by the C2B-FerI-C2C motif, with a critical role identified for C2C. Disruption of C2C dramatically reduces plasma membrane dysferlin (by 2.5-fold), due largely to accelerated endocytosis (by 2.5-fold). These properties of reduced efficiency of plasma membrane expression due to accelerated endocytosis are also a feature of patient missense mutant L344P (within FerI, adjacent to C2C). Importantly, dysferlin mutants that demonstrate accelerated endocytosis also display increased protein lability via endosomal proteolysis, implicating endosomal-mediated proteolytic degradation as a novel basis for dysferlin-deficiency in patients with single missense mutations. Vesicular labeling studies establish that dysferlin mutants rapidly transit from EEA1-positive early endosomes through to dextran-positive lysosomes, co-labeled by syntaxin-4 at multiple stages of endosomal transit. In summary, our studies define a transient biology for dysferlin, relevant to emerging patient therapeutics targeting dysferlin replacement. We introduce accelerated endosomal-directed degradation as a basis for lability of dysferlin missense mutants in dysferlinopathy, and show that dysferlin and syntaxin-4 similarly transit a common endosomal pathway in skeletal muscle cells.
