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

SNARE proteins reside between opposing membranes and facilitate vesicle fusion, a physiological process ubiquitously required for secretion, endocytosis and autophagy. With age, neurosecretory SNARE activity drops and is pertinent to age-associated neurological disorders. Despite the importance of SNARE complex assembly and disassembly in membrane fusion, their diverse localization hinders the complete understanding of their function. Here, we revealed a subset of SNARE proteins, the syntaxin SYX-17, the synaptobrevins VAMP-7, SNB-6 and the tethering factor USO-1, to be either localized or in close proximity to mitochondria, in vivo. We term them mitoSNAREs and show that animals deficient in mitoSNAREs exhibit increased mitochondria mass and accumulation of autophagosomes. The SNARE disassembly factor NSF-1 seems to be required for the effects of mitoSNARE depletion. Moreover, we find mitoSNAREs to be indispensable for normal aging in both neuronal and non-neuronal tissues. Overall, we uncover a previously unrecognized subset of SNAREs that localize to mitochondria and propose a role of mitoSNARE assembly and disassembly factors in basal autophagy regulation and aging.
