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

Ypt/Rab GTPases are key regulators of all membrane trafficking events in eukaryotic cells. They act as molecular switches that attach to membranes via lipid tails to recruit their multiple downstream effectors, which mediate vesicular transport. Originally discovered in yeast as Ypts, they were later shown to be conserved from yeast to humans, where Rabs are relevant to a wide array of diseases. Major principles learned from our past studies in yeast are currently accepted in the Ypt/Rab field including: (i) Ypt/Rabs are not transport-step specific, but are rather compartment specific, (ii) stimulation by nucleotide exchangers, GEFs, is critical to their function, whereas GTP hydrolysis plays a role in their cycling between membranes and the cytoplasm for multiple rounds of action, (iii) they mediate diverse functions ranging from vesicle formation to vesicle fusion and (iv) they act in GTPase cascades to regulate intracellular trafficking pathways. Our recent studies on Ypt1 and Ypt31/Ypt32 and their modular GEF complex TRAPP raise three exciting novel paradigms for Ypt/Rab function: (a) coordination of vesicular transport substeps, (b) integration of individual transport steps into pathways and (c) coordination of different transport pathways. In addition to its amenability to genetic analysis, yeast provides a superior model system for future studies on the role of Ypt/Rabs in traffic coordination due to the smaller proteome that results in a simpler traffic grid. We propose that different types of coordination are important also in human cells for fine-tuning of intracellular trafficking, and that coordination defects could result in disease.
