An antibody for analysis of autophagy induction.
Article in Nature methods, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Autophagy is a degradative program that maintains cellular homeostasis. Autophagy defects have been described in numerous diseases. However, analysis of autophagy rates can be challenging, particularly in rare cell populations or in vivo, due to limitations in currently available tools for measuring autophagy induction. Here, we describe a method to monitor autophagy by measuring phosphorylation of the protein ATG16L1. We developed and characterized a monoclonal antibody that can detect phospho-ATG16L1 endogenously in mammalian cells. Importantly, phospho-ATG16L1 is only present on newly forming autophagosomes. Therefore, its levels are not affected by prolonged stress or late-stage autophagy blocks, which can confound autophagy analysis. Moreover, we show that ATG16L1 phosphorylation is a conserved signaling pathway activated by numerous autophagy-inducing stressors. The described antibody is suitable for western blot, immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry, and measured phospho-ATG16L1 levels directly correspond to autophagy rates. Taken together, this phospho-antibody represents an exciting tool to study autophagy induction.
