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

Sterol-binding proteins are important regulators of lipid homeostasis and membrane integrity; however, the discovery of selective modulators can be challenging due to structural similarities in the sterol-binding domains. We report the discovery of potent and selective inhibitors of oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP), which we term oxybipins. Sterol-containing chemical chimeras aimed at identifying new sterol-binding proteins by targeted degradation, led to a significant reduction in levels of Golgi-associated proteins. The degradation occurred in lysosomes, concomitant with changes in protein glycosylation, indicating that the degradation of Golgi proteins was a downstream effect. By establishing a sterol transport protein biophysical assay panel, we discovered that the oxybipins potently inhibited OSBP, resulting in blockage of retrograde trafficking and attenuating Shiga toxin toxicity. As the oxybipins do not target other sterol transporters and only stabilized OSBP in intact cells, we advocate their use as tools to study OSBP function and therapeutic relevance.
