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

Pancreatitis is a common, sometimes fatal, disease of exocrine pancreas, initiated by damaged acinar cells. Recent studies implicate disordered macroautophagy/autophagy in pancreatitis pathogenesis. ATG8/LC3 protein is critical for autophagosome formation and a widely used marker of autophagic vacuoles. Transgenic GFP-LC3 mice are a valuable tool to investigate autophagy ; however, comparison of homeostatic and disease responses between GFP-LC3 and wild-type (WT) mice has not been done. We examined the effects of GFP-LC3 expression on autophagy, acinar cell function, and experimental pancreatitis. Unexpectedly, GFP-LC3 expression markedly increased endogenous LC3-II level in pancreas, caused by downregulation of ATG4B, the protease that deconjugates/delipidates LC3-II. By contrast, GFP-LC3 expression had lesser or no effect on autophagy in liver, lung and spleen. Autophagic flux analysis showed that autophagosome formation in GFP-LC3 acinar cells increased 3-fold but was not fully counterbalanced by increased autophagic degradation. Acinar cell (
