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

Autophagy is the process whereby cytosol, organelles, and inclusions are taken up in a double-membrane vesicle known as the autophagosome, and transported to the lysosome for destruction and recycling. Electron microscopy (EM) led to the discovery of autophagy in the 1950s and has been a central part of its characterization ever since. New capabilities in single particle EM studies of the autophagy machinery are beginning to provide exciting insights into the mechanisms of autophagosome initiation, growth, and substrate targeting. These include EM structures at various resolutions of part of the Atg1 protein kinase complex and all of the class III phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate complex I that initiate autophagy; the mTORC1 complex that regulates autophagy initiation; the Ape1 particle, a major substrate for selective autophagy in yeast; and p62, a mammalian selective autophagy adaptor. Equally exciting are the prospects for increased resolution and insight into autophagosome formation in cells from advances in cryo-EM tomography and focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM). This review considers recent accomplishments, prospects for progress, and remaining obstacles that still need to be overcome.
