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

Yeast macroautophagy begins with the de novo formation of a double-membrane phagophore at the preautophagosomal structure/phagophore assembly site (PAS), followed by its expansion into the autophagosome responsible for cargo engulfment. The kinase Atg1 is recruited to the PAS by Atg13 through interactions between the EAT domain of the former and the tMIM motif of the latter. Mass-spectrometry data have shown that, in the absence of Atg13, the EAT domain structure is strikingly dynamic, but the function of this Atg13-free dynamic state has been unclear. We used structure-based mutational analysis and quantitative and superresolution microscopy to show that Atg1 is present on autophagic puncta at, on average, twice the stoichiometry of Atg13. Moreover, Atg1 colocalizes with the expanding autophagosome in a manner dependent on Atg8 but not Atg13. We used isothermal titration calorimetry and crystal structure information to design an EAT domain mutant allele ATG1
