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

Ligand-induced epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) endocytosis followed by endosomal EGFR signaling and lysosomal degradation plays important roles in controlling multiple biological processes. ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf)-like protein 4 A (Arl4A) functions at the plasma membrane to mediate cytoskeletal remodeling and cell migration, whereas its localization at endosomal compartments remains functionally unknown. Here, we report that Arl4A attenuates EGFR degradation by binding to the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-II component VPS36. Arl4A plays a role in prolonging the duration of EGFR ubiquitinylation and deterring endocytosed EGFR transport from endosomes to lysosomes under EGF stimulation. Mechanistically, the Arl4A-VPS36 direct interaction stabilizes VPS36 and ESCRT-III association, affecting subsequent recruitment of deubiquitinating-enzyme USP8 by CHMP2A. Impaired Arl4A-VPS36 interaction enhances EGFR degradation and clearance of EGFR ubiquitinylation. Together, we discover that Arl4A negatively regulates EGFR degradation by binding to VPS36 and attenuating ESCRT-mediated late endosomal EGFR sorting.
