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

Protein biogenesis within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is crucial for organismal function. Errors during protein folding necessitate the removal of faulty products. ER-associated protein degradation and ER-phagy target misfolded proteins for proteasomal and lysosomal degradation. The mechanisms initiating ER-phagy in response to ER proteostasis defects are not well understood. By studying mouse primary cells and patient samples as a model of ER storage disorders (ERSDs), we show that accumulation of faulty products within the ER triggers a response involving SESTRIN2, a nutrient sensor controlling mTORC1 signaling. SESTRIN2 induction by XBP1 inhibits mTORC1's phosphorylation of TFEB/TFE3, allowing these transcription factors to enter the nucleus and upregulate the ER-phagy receptor FAM134B along with lysosomal genes. This response promotes ER-phagy of misfolded proteins via FAM134B-Calnexin complex. Pharmacological induction of FAM134B improves clearance of misfolded proteins in ERSDs. Our study identifies the interplay between nutrient signaling and ER quality control, suggesting therapeutic strategies for ERSDs.
