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

Autophagy mediates the degradation of harmful material within lysosomes. In aggrephagy, the pathway mediating the degradation of aggregated, ubiquitinated proteins, this cargo material is collected in larger condensates prior to its sequestration by autophagosomes. In this process, the autophagic cargo receptors SQSTM1/p62 and NBR1 drive cargo condensation, while TAX1BP1, which binds to NBR1, recruits the autophagy machinery to facilitate autophagosome biogenesis at the condensates. The mechanistic basis for the TAX1BP1-mediated switch from cargo collection to its sequestration is unclear. Here we show that TAX1BP1 is not a constitutive component of the condensates. Its recruitment correlates with the induction of autophagosome biogenesis. TAX1BP1 is sufficient to recruit the TBK1 kinase via the SINTBAD adapter. We define the NBR1-TAX1BP1-binding site, which is adjacent to the GABARAP/LC3 interaction site, and demonstrate that the recruitment of TAX1BP1 to cargo mimetics can be enhanced by an increased ubiquitin load. Our study suggests that autophagosome biogenesis is initiated once sufficient cargo is collected in the condensates.
