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

In our recent study, we identified Rab10-positive long tubular endosomes, which originate from macropinocytic cups, as a novel endocytic pathway in RAW264 cells. This pathway is unique because it bypasses the lysosomal degradation route and proceeds toward the Golgi region, distinguishing it from previously known endocytic routes. However, its function remains entirely unknown. Upon exploring the cargo transported by Rab10-positive tubular endosomes, we discovered that PD-L1, a cancer immune checkpoint molecule expressed on cancer cells and macrophage surfaces, was abundantly localized in Rab10-positive tubular structures in RAW264 cells. This suggests that PD-L1 may be a significant cargo for these endosomes in macrophages. These findings offer new insights into the role of Rab10-positive tubular endosomes in the intracellular transport of PD-L1, potentially influencing its expression on the cell surface.
