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

Endoplasmic reticulum quality control is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and adapting to stress conditions. Although several ER-phagy receptors have been identified, the collaboration between cytosolic and ER-resident factors in ER fragmentation and ER-phagy regulation remains unclear. Here, we perform a phenotype-based gain-of-function screen and identify a cytosolic protein, FKBPL, functioning as an ER-phagy regulator. Overexpression of FKBPL triggers ER fragmentation and ER-phagy. FKBPL has multiple protein binding domains, can self-associate and might act as a scaffold connecting CKAP4 and LC3/GABARAPs. CKAP4 serves as a bridge between FKBPL and ER-phagy cargo. ER-phagy-inducing conditions increase FKBPL-CKAP4 interaction followed by FKBPL oligomerization at the ER, leading to ER-phagy. In addition, FKBPL-CKAP4 deficiency leads to Golgi disassembly and lysosome impairment, and an increase in ER-derived secretory vesicles and enhances cytosolic protein secretion via microvesicle shedding. Taken together, FKBPL with the aid of CKAP4 induces ER fragmentation and ER-phagy, and FKBPL-CKAP4 deficiency facilitates protein secretion.
