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

FTY720 is a sphingoid base analog that acts as an anticancer agent in animal models. Its effect on tumor cells stems largely from its ability to trigger endocytosis of several nutrient transporters. The observation that FTY720 similarly stimulates downregulation of amino acid permeases in yeast suggests that the cellular mechanisms it targets, which are still poorly characterized, are evolutionarily conserved. We here report that adding FTY720 to yeast cells results in rapid inhibition of the intrinsic activity of multiple permeases. This effect is associated with inhibition of the TORC1 kinase complex, which in turn promotes ubiquitin-dependent permease endocytosis. Further analysis of the Gap1 permease showed that FTY720 elicits its ubiquitylation via the same factors that promote this modification when TORC1 is inhibited by rapamycin. We also show that FTY720 promotes endocytosis of the LAT1/SLC7A5 amino acid transporter in HeLa cells, this being preceded by loss of its transport activity and by mTORC1 inhibition. Our data suggest that in yeast, TORC1 deactivation resulting from FTY720-mediated inhibition of membrane transport elicits permease endocytosis. The same process seems to occur in human cells even though our data and previous reports suggest that FTY720 promotes transporter endocytosis via an additional mechanism insensitive to rapamycin.
