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

Lysosomes are sites of active metabolism in a cell. They contain various hydrolases that degrade extracellular and intracellular materials during endocytosis and autophagy, respectively. In addition to their long-recognized roles in degradation and recycling, emerging studies have revealed that lysosomes are organizing centers for signal transduction. Lysosome-derived signaling plays crucial roles in regulating nutrient sensing, metabolic adaptation, organelle crosstalk, and aging. In particular, how the degradative role of the lysosome cooperates with its signaling functions to actively modulate lifespan is beginning to be unraveled. This review describes recent advances in the role of the lysosome as a 'signaling hub' that uses three different lysosome-derived signaling pathways to integrate metabolic inputs, organelle interactions, and the control of longevity.
