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

The macroautophagy/autophagy proteins ATG2A and ATG2B transfer lipids for phagophore membrane growth. They also form stable complexes with WDR45 and WDR45B. Our previous study demonstrated that WDR45 and WDR45B mediate autophagosome-lysosome fusion in neural cells. Given the defective autophagosome formation in cells lacking both ATG2s, their role in later autophagy stages is hard to explore. Here, we report that in neuroblastoma-derived Neuro-2a (N2a) cells, knocking down (KD)
