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

Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are endosomes that have internalized portions of the limiting membrane into the compartment, thereby forming intralumenal vesicles. This vesicle formation is unusual in that it is directed away from the cytoplasm, which requires a unique mechanism unlike any mechanism described for other vesicle formation events. The best contenders for the machinery that drives MVB vesicle formation are the ESCRT protein complexes. However, increasing evidence suggests that lipids may play a key role in this membrane-deformation process. This review attempts to combine the seemingly contradictory findings into a MVB vesicle formation model that is based on a lipid-driven and ESCRT-regulated mechanism.
