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 lysosome is a membrane-bound organelle involved in the turnover of various intracellular and extracellular macromolecules. These are degraded by acidic hydrolases in the lumen of lysosome. The lysosomal membrane is important not only in retaining the acidic hydrolases to protect cells against cytosolic proteolysis, but it also facilitates protein trafficking though organelle fusion. In this study, we report on a novel lysosomal membrane protein transmembrane 6 superfamily 1 (Tm6sf1). Expression of Tm6sf1-DsRed fusion proteins in HEK293A cells displayed punctate or ringlike vesicles, which colocalized with conventional lysosome markers including LAMP1/2, RAB7, and Rnf167. Using fluorescence time-lapse live cell imaging, we demonstrated the fusion of Tm6sf1 vesicles with lysosomes and the integration of Tm6sf1 into the lysosomal membrane. We also examined the expression of Tm6sf1 in mouse tissues and found immunopositive signals in major organs such as the cerebellum, kidney, and intestine. These data suggest that Tm6sf1 is a widely expressed lysosomal transmembrane protein and can be used as a novel marker of lysosome.
