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 ER forms a contiguous structure of interconnected sheets and tubules that spreads from the nuclear envelope to the cell cortex. Through its attachment to the cytoskeleton, the ER undergoes dynamic rearrangements, such as tubule extension and movement. ER shaping proteins (reticulons and DP1/Yop1p) play key roles in generating and maintaining the unique reticular morphology of the ER. Atlastin and its yeast homologue, Sey1p, mediate homotypic ER membrane fusion, which leads to the formation of new three-way junctions within the polygonal network. At these junctions, the Lunapark protein, Lnp1p, works in conjunction with the reticulons, DP1/Yop1p, and in antagonism to atlastin/Sey1p to maintain the network in a dynamic equilibrium. Defects in ER morphology have been linked to certain neurological disorders.
