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

Many proteins involved in autophagy have been identified in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. For example, Atg3 and Atg10 are two E2 enzymes that facilitate the conjugation of the ubiquitin-like proteins (Ubls) Atg8 and Atg12, respectively. Here, we describe the identification and characterization of the predicted Atg10 homolog (SpAtg10) of the evolutionarily distant Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Unexpectedly, SpAtg10 is not essential for autophagy. Instead, we find that SpAtg10 is essential for normal cell cycle progression, and for responses to various stress conditions that perturb the cell cycle, independently of Atg12 conjugation. Taken together, our data indicate that autophagic Ubl conjugation pathways differ between eukaryotes and, furthermore, that enzymes such as Atg10 may have additional functions in controlling key cellular processes such as cell cycle progression. Atg10-related proteins are found from yeast to humans, and, thus, this study has implications for understanding the functions of this protein family in Ubl conjugation in eukaryotes.
