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

Maintaining a highly acidic lysosomal pH is central to cellular physiology. Here, we use functional proteomics, single-particle cryo-EM, electrophysiology, and in vivo imaging to unravel a key biological function of human lysosome-associated membrane proteins (LAMP-1 and LAMP-2) in regulating lysosomal pH homeostasis. Despite being widely used as a lysosomal marker, the physiological functions of the LAMP proteins have long been overlooked. We show that LAMP-1 and LAMP-2 directly interact with and inhibit the activity of the lysosomal cation channel TMEM175, a key player in lysosomal pH homeostasis implicated in Parkinson's disease. This LAMP inhibition mitigates the proton conduction of TMEM175 and facilitates lysosomal acidification to a lower pH environment crucial for optimal hydrolase activity. Disrupting the LAMP-TMEM175 interaction alkalinizes the lysosomal pH and compromises the lysosomal hydrolytic function. In light of the ever-increasing importance of lysosomes to cellular physiology and diseases, our data have widespread implications for lysosomal biology.
