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

The mechanism by which misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are retrotranslocated to the cytosol for proteasomal degradation is still poorly understood. Here, we show that importin β, a well established nucleocytoplasmic transport protein, interacts with components of the retrotranslocation complex and promotes ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Knockdown of importin β specifically inhibited the degradation of misfolded ERAD substrates but did not affect turnover of non-ERAD proteasome substrates. Genetic studies and in vitro reconstitution assays demonstrate that importin β is critically required for ubiquitination of mutant α1-antitrypsin, a luminal ERAD substrate. Furthermore, we show that importin β cooperates with Ran GTPase to promote ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of mutant α1-antitrypsin. These results establish an unanticipated role for importin β in ER protein quality control.
