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

objectiveOne of the major risk factors for atherosclerosis is the plasma level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which is a product of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). Hepatic apolipoprotein B100 (apoB100) is the essential component that provides structural stability to VLDL particles. Newly translated apoB100 is partially lipidated in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), forming nascent apoB100-VLDL particles. These particles are further modified to form fully mature VLDLs in the Golgi apparatus. Therefore, the transport of nascent VLDL from the ER to the Golgi represents a critical step during VLDL maturation and secretion and in regulating serum LDL cholesterol levels. Our previous studies showed that apoB100 exits the ER in coat complex II vesicles (COPII), but the cohort of related factors that control trafficking is poorly defined. APPROACH AND

resultsExpression levels of Kelch-like protein 12 (KLHL12), an adaptor protein known to assist COPII-dependent transport of procollagen, were manipulated by using a KLHL12-specific small interfering RNA and a KLHL12 expression plasmid in the rat hepatoma cell line, McArdle RH7777. KLHL12 knockdown decreased the secreted and intracellular pools of apoB100, an effect that was attenuated in the presence of an autophagy inhibitor. KLHL12 knockdown also significantly reduced secretion of the most lipidated apoB100-VLDL species and led to the accumulation of apoB100 in the ER. Consistent with these data, KLHL12 overexpression increased apoB100 recovery and apoB100-VLDL secretion. Images obtained from confocal microscopy revealed colocalization of apoB100 and KLHL12, further supporting a direct link between KLHL12 function and VLDL trafficking from the ER.

conclusionsKLHL12 plays a critical role in facilitating the ER exit and secretion of apoB100-VLDL particles, suggesting that KLHL12 modulation would influence plasma lipid levels.
