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

Cargo-selective and nonselective autophagy pathways employ a common core autophagy machinery that directs biogenesis of an autophagosome that eventually fuses with the lysosome to mediate turnover of macromolecules. In yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae) cells, several selective autophagy pathways fail in cells lacking the dimeric Snx4/Atg24 and Atg20/Snx42 sorting nexins containing a BAR domain (SNX-BARs), which function as coat proteins of endosome-derived retrograde transport carriers. It is unclear whether endosomal sorting by Snx4 proteins contributes to autophagy. Cells lacking Snx4 display a deficiency in starvation induced, nonselective autophagy that is severely exacerbated by ablation of mitochondrial phosphatidylethanolamine synthesis. Under these conditions, phosphatidylserine accumulates in the membranes of the endosome and vacuole, autophagy intermediates accumulate within the cytoplasm, and homotypic vacuole fusion is impaired. The Snx4-Atg20 dimer displays preference for binding and remodeling of phosphatidylserine-containing membrane in vitro, suggesting that Snx4-Atg20-coated carriers export phosphatidylserine-rich membrane from the endosome. Autophagy and vacuole fusion are restored by increasing phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis via alternative pathways, indicating that retrograde sorting by the Snx4 family sorting nexins maintains glycerophospholipid homeostasis required for autophagy and fusion competence of the vacuole membrane.
