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 an evolutionarily conserved cellular process that primarily participates in lysosome-mediated protein degradation. Although autophagy is a cytoplasmic event, how epigenetic pathways are involved in the regulation of autophagy remains incompletely understood. Here, we found that H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub1) is down-regulated in cells under starvation conditions and that the decrease in H2Bub1 results in the activation of autophagy. We also identified that the deubiquitinase USP44 is responsible for the starvation-induced decrease in H2Bub1. Furthermore, the changes in H2Bub1 affect the transcription of genes involved in the regulation of autophagy. Therefore, this study reveals a novel epigenetic pathway for the regulation of autophagy through H2Bub1.
