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

In macroautophagy, cellular components are sequestered within autophagosomes and transported to lysosomes/vacuoles for degradation. Although phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex I (PI3KCI) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of autophagosome biogenesis, little is known about how this complex localizes to the pre-autophagosomal structure (PAS). In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, PI3KCI is composed of PI3K Vps34 and conserved subunits Vps15, Vps30, Atg14, and Atg38. In this study, we discover that PI3KCI interacts with the vacuolar membrane anchor Vac8, the PAS scaffold Atg1 complex, and the pre-autophagosomal vesicle component Atg9 via the Atg14 C-terminal region, the Atg38 C-terminal region, and the Vps30 BARA domain, respectively. While the Atg14-Vac8 interaction is constitutive, the Atg38-Atg1 complex interaction and the Vps30-Atg9 interaction are enhanced upon macroautophagy induction depending on Atg1 kinase activity. These interactions cooperate to target PI3KCI to the PAS. These findings provide a molecular basis for PAS targeting of PI3KCI during autophagosome biogenesis.
