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 ribosome-associated nascent polypeptide-associated complex (NAC) is involved in multiple cotranslational processes, including protein transport into the ER and mitochondria, and also acts as a chaperone to assist protein folding. Here we demonstrated that NAC is also essential for autophagic degradation of a variety of protein aggregates in C. elegans. Loss of function of NAC impairs lysosome function, resulting in accumulation of autophagic substrates in enlarged autolysosomes. Knockdown of mammalian NAC also causes accumulation of nondegradative autolysosomes. Our study revealed that NAC plays an evolutionarily conserved role in the autophagy pathway and thus in maintaining protein homeostasis under physiological conditions.
