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

Cells are filled with thousands of vesicles, which mediate protein transport and ensure homeostasis of the endomembrane system. Distinguishing these vesicles functionally and molecularly represents a major challenge. Intracellular nanovesicles (INVs) are a large class of transport vesicles that likely comprise multiple subtypes. Here, we define the INV proteome and find that it is molecularly heterogeneous and enriched for transmembrane cargo molecules, including integrins, transporters and ATG9A, a lipid scramblase associated with autophagy. ATG9A is known to reside in 'ATG9A vesicles' - small vesicles that contribute to autophagosome formation. Here, using in-cell vesicle capture assays, we found that ATG9A, as well as other ATG9A vesicle cargoes, are in INVs. Quantitative analysis showed that virtually all ATG9A vesicles are INVs, but that only ∼20% of INVs are ATG9A vesicles, suggesting that ATG9A vesicles are in fact a subtype of INV, which we term ATG9A-flavor INVs. Finally, we show that perturbing ATG9A-flavor INVs impairs the autophagy response induced by starvation.
