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

Dynamin-related proteins (Drps) mediate a variety of membrane remodelling processes. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Drp, Vps1, is required for endocytosis, endosomal sorting, vacuole fusion, and peroxisome fission and breakdown. How Drps, and in particular Vps1, can function at so many different subcellular locations is of interest to our understanding of cellular organisation. We found that the peroxisomal membrane protein Pex27 is specifically required for Vps1-dependent peroxisome fission in proliferating cells but is not required for Dnm1-dependent peroxisome fission. Pex27 accumulates in constricted regions of peroxisomes and affects peroxisome geometry upon overexpression. Moreover, Pex27 physically interacts with Vps1 in vivo and is required for the accumulation of a GTPase-defective Vps1 mutant (K42A) on peroxisomes. During nitrogen starvation, a condition that halts cell division and induces peroxisome breakdown, Vps1 associates with the pexophagophore. Pex27 is neither required for Vps1 recruitment to the pexophagophore nor for pexophagy. Our study identifies Pex27 as a Vps1-specific partner for the maintenance of peroxisome number in proliferating yeast cells.
