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

Macroautophagy is orchestrated by the Atg1-Atg13 complex in budding yeast. Under nutrient-rich conditions, Atg13 is maintained in a hyperphosphorylated state by the TORC1 kinase. After nutrient starvation, Atg13 is dephosphorylated, triggering Atg1 kinase activity and macroautophagy induction. The phosphatases that dephosphorylate Atg13 remain uncharacterized. Here, we show that two redundant PP2C phosphatases, Ptc2 and Ptc3, regulate macroautophagy by dephosphorylating Atg13 and Atg1. In the absence of these phosphatases, starvation-induced macroautophagy and the cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting pathway are inhibited, and the recruitment of the essential autophagy machinery to the phagophore assembly site is impaired.
