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

Misfolded glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen are translocated into the cytosol and degraded by the proteasome, a conserved process called ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD). In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the glycan of these proteins is trimmed by the luminal mannosidase Mnl1 (Htm1) to generate a degradation signal. Interestingly, Mnl1 is associated with protein disulfide isomerase (Pdi1). Here we used cryo-electron microscopy, biochemical and in vivo experiments to elucidate how this complex initiates ERAD. The Mnl1-Pdi1 complex first demannosylates misfolded, globular proteins that are recognized through the C-terminal domain (CTD) of Mnl1; Pdi1 causes the CTD to ignore completely unfolded polypeptides. The disulfides of these globular proteins are then reduced by the Pdi1 component of the complex. Mnl1 blocks the canonical oxidative function of Pdi1, allowing it to function as a disulfide reductase in ERAD. The generated unfolded polypeptides can then be translocated across the membrane into the cytosol.
