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

Peroxisomes play essential roles in diverse cellular metabolism functions, and their dynamic homeostasis is maintained through the coordination of peroxisome biogenesis and turnover. Pexophagy, selective autophagic degradation of peroxisomes, is a major mechanism for removing damaged and/or superfluous peroxisomes. Dysregulation of pexophagy impairs the physiological functions of peroxisomes and contributes to the progression of many human diseases. However, the mechanisms and functions of pexophagy in mammalian cells remain largely unknown compared to those in yeast. This review focuses on mammalian pexophagy and aims to advance the understanding of the roles of pexophagy in human health and diseases. Increasing evidence shows that ubiquitination can serve as a signal for pexophagy, and ubiquitin-binding receptors, substrates, and E3 ligases/deubiquitinases involved in pexophagy have been described. Alternatively, pexophagy can be achieved in a ubiquitin-independent manner. We discuss the mechanisms of these ubiquitin-dependent and ubiquitin-independent pexophagy pathways and summarize several inducible conditions currently used to study pexophagy. We highlight several roles of pexophagy in human health and how its dysregulation may contribute to diseases.
