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

Ricin is a potent A-B toxin that is transported from the cell surface to the cytosol, where it inactivates ribosomes, leading to cell death. Ricin enters cells via endocytosis, where only a minute number of ricin molecules reach the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen. Subsequently, the ricin A chain traverses the ER bilayer by a process referred to as dislocation or retrograde translocation to gain access to the cytosol. To study the molecular processes of ricin A chain dislocation, we have established, for the first time, a human cell system in which enzymatically attenuated ricin toxin A chains (RTA(E177D) and RTA(Δ177-181)) are expressed in the cell and directed to the ER. Using this human cell-based system, we found that ricin A chains underwent a rapid dislocation event that was quite distinct from the dislocation of a canonical ER soluble misfolded protein, null Hong Kong variant of α(1)-antitrypsin. Remarkably, ricin A chain dislocation occurred via a membrane-integrated intermediate and utilized the ER protein SEL1L for transport across the ER bilayer to inhibit protein synthesis. The data support a model in which ricin A chain dislocation occurs via a novel strategy of utilizing the hydrophobic nature of the ER membrane and selective ER components to gain access to the cytosol.
