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

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are well known for their roles as multidrug resistance determinants but also play important roles in regulation of lipid levels. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the plasma membrane ABC transporter proteins Pdr5 and Yor1 are required for normal rates of transport of phosphatidyethanolamine to the surface of the cell. Loss of these ABC transporters causes a defect in phospholipid asymmetry across the plasma membrane and has been linked with slowed rates of trafficking of other membrane proteins. Four ABC transporter proteins are found on the limiting membrane of the yeast vacuole and loss of one of these vacuolar ABC transporters, Ybt1, caused a major defect in the normal delivery of the phosphatidylcholine (PC) analog NBD-PC (7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-PC) to the lumen of the vacuole. NBD-PC accumulates on cytosolic membranes in an ybt1Δ strain. We demonstrated that Ybt1 is required to import NBD-PC into vacuoles in the presence of ATP in vitro. Loss of Ybt1 prevented vacuolar remodeling of PC analogs. Turnover of Ybt1 was reduced under conditions in which function of this vacuolar remodeling pathway was required. Our data describe a novel vacuolar route for lipid remodeling and reutilization in addition to previously described enzymatic avenues in the cytoplasm.
