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

While ATG8ylation, the C-terminal lipidation of mammalian and plant Atg8 (ATG8)-family proteins, is a well-established driver of autophagosome formation, emerging evidence reveals its non-canonical role in modifying single-membrane organelles under diverse environmental stresses. In a recent study, we found that disruption of the vacuolar proton gradient by alkaline stress rapidly triggers the translocation of ATG8 to the vacuolar membrane in plants. ATG8ylation facilitates membrane invagination through a mechanism independent of both ESCRT and the cytoskeleton. Concurrently, ATG8 recruits ATG2 to endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-vacuolar membrane contact sites, a process that may contribute to damaged membrane repair. Together, these processes enable plants to rapidly recover from vacuolar pH imbalance and adapt to alkaline conditions. Our findings advance the understanding of ATG8ylation in vacuolar membrane homeostasis and damage response, highlighting its conserved role in organellar stability and stress adaptation.
