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

Endocytic trafficking controls the density of molecules at the plasma membrane and by doing so, the cell surface profile, which in turn determines how cells interact with their environment. A full apprehension of any cellular process necessitates understanding how proteins associated with the plasma membrane are endocytosed, how they are sorted after internalization, and if and how they are recycled to the plasma membrane. To date, it is still difficult to experimentally gain access to this information, even more to do it in a quantitative way. Here we present a toolset based on photoactivation of fluorescent proteins that enabled us to generate quantitative information on endocytosis, incorporation into sorting and recycling endosomes, delivery from endosomes to the plasma membrane, and on the type of vesicles performing intracellular transport. We illustrate these approaches by revealing striking differences in the endocytic trafficking of T-cell receptor and CD4, which bind to the same molecule at the surface of antigen-presenting cells during T-cell activation.
