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

To identify novel regulators of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-linked protein degradation and ER function, we determined the entire inventory of membrane-spanning RING finger E3 ubiquitin ligases localized to the ER. We identified 24 ER membrane-anchored ubiquitin ligases and found Nixin/ZNRF4 to be central for the regulation of calnexin turnover. Ectopic expression of wild type Nixin induced a dramatic down-regulation of the ER-localized chaperone calnexin that was prevented by inactivation of the Nixin RING domain. Importantly, Nixin physically interacts with calnexin in a glycosylation-independent manner, induces calnexin ubiquitination, and p97-dependent degradation, indicating an ER-associated degradation-like mechanism of calnexin turnover.
