Loss of CD98HC phosphorylation by ATM impairs antiporter trafficking and drives glutamate toxicity in Ataxia telangiectasia.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Ataxia-telangiectasia is a rare genetic disorder characterized by neurological defects, immunodeficiency, cancer predisposition, radiosensitivity, decreased blood vessel integrity, and diabetes. ATM, the protein mutated in Ataxia-telangiectasia, responds to DNA damage and oxidative stress, but its functional relationship to the progressive clinical manifestation of this disorder is not understood. CD98HC chaperones cystine/glutamate and cationic/neutral amino acid antiporters to the cell membrane, and CD98HC phosphorylation by ATM accelerates membrane localization to acutely increase amino acid transport. Loss of ATM impacts tissues reliant on heterodimeric amino acid transporters relevant to Ataxia-telangiectasia phenotypes, such as endothelial cells (telangiectasia) and pancreatic α-cells (fatty liver and diabetes), with toxic glutamate accumulation. Bypassing the antiporters restores intracellular metabolic balance in ATM-deficient cells and mouse models. These findings provide insight into the long-known benefits of N-acetyl cysteine in Ataxia-telangiectasia cells beyond oxidative stress through removing glutamate excess by producing glutathione.
