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

The small GTPases, Rab5 and Rab7, are key regulators at multiple stages of the endocytic/endolysosomal pathway, including fusion and maturation of endosomes. In yeast, Vps21p (Rab5 homolog) recruits a GEF for Rab7 and activates the downstream Ypt7p (Rab7 homolog) on endosomal membrane. Although the model of this sequential activation from Vps21p to Ypt7p in the endocytic pathway has been established, activation mechanism of Ypt7p in the Vps21p-independent pathway has not been completely clarified. Here we show that Ypt7p is activated and mediates vacuolar fusion in cells lacking all yeast Rab5 genes, VPS21, YPT52, and YPT53. We also demonstrate that deletion of both VPS21 and YPT7 genes cause severe defect in the AP-3 pathway as well as the CPY pathway although the AP-3 pathway is mostly intact in each vps21Δ or ypt7Δ mutant. Interestingly, in vps21Δ ypt7Δ mutant cargos trafficked via the VPS or endocytic pathway accumulate beside nucleus whereas cargo trafficked via the AP-3 pathway disperse in the cytosol. These findings suggest that Ypt7p is activated and plays a Rab5-independent role in the AP-3-mediated pathway.
