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

ATG2 is a rod-shaped membrane-tethering protein suggested to mediate the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-phagophore association and the expansion of the phagophore. We recently demonstrated that human ATG2A transfers lipids between membranes in vitro, which led us to propose a model that the phagophore expands upon the transfer of lipids from the ER by ATG2. Here, we summarize our findings and arising issues that need to be addressed to establish the mechanism of phagophore expansion.
