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

Impaired secretion of an essential blood coagulation factor fibrinogen leads to hepatic fibrinogen storage disease (HFSD), characterized by the presence of fibrinogen-positive inclusion bodies and hypofibrinogenemia. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the biogenesis of fibrinogen in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) remain unexplored. Here we uncover a key role of SEL1L-HRD1 complex of ER-associated degradation (ERAD) in the formation of aberrant inclusion bodies, and the biogenesis of nascent fibrinogen protein complex in hepatocytes. Acute or chronic deficiency of SEL1L-HRD1 ERAD in the hepatocytes leads to the formation of hepatocellular inclusion bodies. Proteomics studies followed by biochemical assays reveal fibrinogen as a major component of the inclusion bodies. Mechanistically, we show that the degradation of misfolded endogenous fibrinogen Aα, Bβ, and γ chains by SEL1L-HRD1 ERAD is indispensable for the formation of a functional fibrinogen complex in the ER. Providing clinical relevance of these findings, SEL1L-HRD1 ERAD indeed degrades and thereby attenuates the pathogenicity of two disease-causing fibrinogen γ mutants. Together, this study demonstrates an essential role of SEL1L-HRD1 ERAD in fibrinogen biogenesis and provides insight into the pathogenesis of protein-misfolding diseases.
