Unexpected inhibition of the lipid kinase PIKfyve reveals an epistatic role for p38 MAPKs in endolysosomal fission and volume control.

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.
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
p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) regulate early endocytic trafficking, but their effects on late endocytic trafficking remain unclear. Herein, we report that the pyridinyl imidazole p38 MAPK inhibitors, SB203580 and SB202190, induce a rapid but reversible Rab7-dependent accumulation of large cytoplasmic vacuoles. While SB203580 did not induce canonical autophagy, phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate [PI(3)P] accumulated on vacuole membranes, and inhibition of the class III PI3-kinase (PIK3C3/VPS34) suppressed vacuolation. Ultimately, vacuolation resulted from the fusion of ER/Golgi-derived membrane vesicles with late endosomes and lysosomes (LELs), combined with an osmotic imbalance in LELs that led to severe swelling and a decrease in LEL fission. Since PIKfyve inhibitors induce a similar phenotype by preventing the conversion of PI(3)P to PI(3,5)P2, we performed
