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

Despite playing a central role in tolerance, little is known regarding the mechanism by which intracellular CTLA-4 is shuttled from the trans-Golgi network to the surfaces of T cells. In this context, Ras-related GTPase Rab8 plays an important role in the intracellular transport, while we have previously shown that CTLA-4 binds to the immune cell adaptor TRIM in T cells. In this study, we demonstrate that CTLA-4 forms a multimeric complex comprised of TRIM and related LAX that in turn binds to GTP bound Rab8 for post-Golgi transport to the cell surface. LAX bound via its N terminus to active GTP-Rab8, as well as the cytoplasmic tail of CTLA-4. TRIM required LAX for binding to Rab8 in a complex. Wild-type LAX or its N terminus (residues 1 to 77) increased CTLA-4 surface expression, whereas small interfering RNAs of Rab8 or LAX or disruption of LAX/Rab8 binding reduced numbers of CTLA-4-containing vesicles and its coreceptor surface expression. LAX also promoted the polarization of CTLA-4 and the reorientation of the microtubule-organizing center to the site of T-cell receptor engagement. Our results identify a novel CTLA-4/TRIM/LAX/Rab8 effector complex in the transport of CTLA-4 to the surfaces of T cells.
