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

N-glycosylation of proteins plays an important role in the determination of the fate of newly synthesized glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Specific oligosaccharide structures recruit molecular chaperones that promote folding or mannose-binding lectins that assist in the clearance of improperly-folded glycoproteins by delivery to ER-associated degradation (ERAD). In plants, the mechanisms and factors that recognize non-native proteins and sort them to ERAD are poorly understood. In the present study, we provide evidence that a misfolded variant of the STRUBBELIG (SUB) extracellular domain (SUBEX-C57Y) is degraded in a glycan-dependent manner in plants. SUBEX-C57Y is an ER-retained glycoprotein with three N-glycans that is stabilized in the presence of kifunensine, a potent inhibitor of α-mannosidases. Stable expression in Arabidopsis thaliana knockout mutants revealed that SUBEX-C57Y degradation is dependent on the ER lectin OS9 and its associated ERAD factor SEL1L. SUBEX-C57Y was also stabilized in plants lacking the α-mannosidases MNS4 and MNS5 that generate a terminal α1,6-linked mannose on the C-branch of N-glycans. Notably, the glycan signal for degradation is not constrained to a specific position within SUBEX-C57Y. Structural analysis revealed that SUBEX-C57Y harbours considerable amounts of Glc1Man7GlcNAc2 N-glycans suggesting that the ER-quality control processes involving calnexin/calreticulin (CNX/CRT) and ERAD are tightly interconnected to promote protein folding or disposal by termination of futile folding attempts.
