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

Autophagosome-lysosome fusion mediated by SNARE complexes is an essential step in autophagy. Two SNAP29-containing SNARE complexes have been extensively studied in starvation-induced bulk autophagy, while the relevant SNARE complexes in other types of autophagy occurring under non-starvation conditions have been overlooked. Here, we found that autophagosome-lysosome fusion in selective autophagy under non-starvation conditions does not require SNAP29-containing SNARE complexes, but requires the STX17-SNAP47-VAMP7/VAMP8 SNARE complex. Further, the STX17-SNAP47-VAMP7/VAMP8 SNARE complex also functions in starvation-induced autophagy. SNAP47 is recruited to autophagosomes following concurrent detection of ATG8s and PI(4,5)P
