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

A distinctive protein and lipid composition underlies the distinct function of each organelle, regulated by balanced anterograde and retrograde membrane trafficking. The vacuole, the largest plant organelle, is pivotal in various plant functions, and its protein composition is tightly regulated by bidirectional trafficking. However, the existence of retrograde transport from the plant vacuole has remained unverified. Here we demonstrate retrograde trafficking from the vacuole in Arabidopsis. We observed the retrieval of VAMP727, a plant-unique vacuolar membrane fusion machinery, from the vacuolar membrane. VAMP727 retrieval is facilitated by sorting nexin proteins, which independently diversified between plant and non-plant systems. Furthermore, we show that the core retromer complex and sorting nexins act independently in distinct retrograde transport events with specific cargos. Plant cells have thus elaborated a unique retrieval mechanism from the vacuole, underpinning the neofunctionalization of VAMP727 during plant evolution.
