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

Endosomal retrieval and recycling of integral cargo proteins is essential for cell and organism development and homeostasis and is orchestrated through a specialised endosomal nanodomain, the retrieval sub-domain. Sub-domain dysfunction is associated with human disease, but our mechanistic understanding of its function remains poorly described. Here, using proximity proteomics of retrieval sub-domain components Retromer and Retriever we identify mechanistic details of retrieval sub-domain composition and organization, including an unrecognised complexity in the interface with RAB GTPase switching. Combining X-ray crystallography and in silico predictions with biochemical and cellular analysis, we reveal that Retromer directly associates and recruits the RAB10 regulators DENND4A, DENND4C, TBC1D1, and TBC1D4, and the RAB35 regulator TBC1D13 to regulate retrieval sub-domain function. The retrieval sub-domain therefore constitutes a hub for integrating cargo recycling with the regulated switching of selected RAB GTPases. We propose this constitutes a major component of the neuroprotective role of the retrieval sub-domain.
