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 endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) comprise a fundamental cellular machinery with remarkable versatility in membrane remodeling. It is multifunctional in the multivesicular body (MVB) biogenesis, exosome formation and secretion, virus budding, cytokinesis, plasma membrane repair, neuron pruning, and autophagy. ESCRT's involvement in cellular mechanisms extends beyond basic membrane trafficking. By directly interacting with autophagy-related (ATG) proteins and facilitating autophagosome-lysosome fusion, ESCRT ensures cellular homeostasis. Dysregulation in ESCRT function has been implicated in cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and infectious diseases, underscoring its critical role in numerous pathologies. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is an enveloped virus that exploits ESCRT and autophagy pathways for viral replication, assembly, and secretion. This review synthesizes recent mechanistic insights into ESCRT's multifaceted roles, particularly focusing on its interactions with autophagy formation and the HBV lifecycle.
