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

Macroautophagy/autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic membrane trafficking process through which various intracellular constituents, from proteins to organelles, are targeted for vacuolar/lysosomal degradation. Autophagy is tightly regulated both temporally and in magnitude at multiple levels to prevent either excessive or insufficient activity. To date, only a few RNA-binding proteins have been characterized as regulating the expression of genes essential for autophagy, and the contribution of post-transcriptional regulation in autophagy activity remains poorly understood. Here, through a genetic screen for autophagy-defective mutants, we identified Npl3, a nucleus-cytoplasm shuttling mRNA-binding protein, as essential for both bulk and selective types of autophagy.
