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 our recent paper, we uncovered that ATG3 exhibits a large degree of structural dynamics on autophagic membranes to efficiently carry out LC3 lipidation. ATG3 proteins possess an amphipathic α-helix (AH) identified by a small number of bulky and hydrophobic residues. This biophysical fingerprint allows for transient membrane association of ATG3 and facilitates its enzymatic reaction. This study will pave the way for a structural and mechanistic understanding of how membrane association of ATG proteins is orchestrated during autophagosome formation.
