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 transmembrane protein TMEM175, a cation channel located on the lysosomal membrane, plays a crucial role in regulating lysosomal membrane potential and maintaining intralysosomal pH stability. It is involved in various physiological and pathological processes. This review summarizes recent advancements in understanding TMEM175's role in lysosomal physiology, with a detailed discussion of its regulatory mechanisms and specific contributions to lysosomal function. Furthermore, it explores the potential links between TMEM175 and human diseases, particularly neurodegenerative disorders. The structure of TMEM175 is elaborated upon, highlighting how activators and inhibitors interact with different structural domains of TMEM175, revealing multiple potential active sites. The functional significance of these sites and their relationships with TMEM175's activity are also discussed.
