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

Since its discovery as a key component of the autophagosome membrane, the small ubiquitin-like protein ATG8 and its mammalian homologs (ATG8s) have garnered a lot of attention. Many researchers use it as a marker for autophagosome number, size and composition. A lot of research has focussed on its function in forming complexes required for autophagosome-lysosome fusion or generally, its interaction with other proteins via the ATG8-family interacting motif/AIM. Many additional functions have been discovered, for instance in non-canonical autophagy processes and in the nucleus. The list of known functions of ATG8 are ever expanding, and, most recently, evidence has emerged that, similar to ubiquitin, ATG8 can modify proteins by covalent attachment to a lysine residue (protein ATG8ylation). In this review, we aim to summarize the current literature on protein ATG8ylation and highlight the currently known substrates. We propose strategies to investigate this modification and provide an outlook for its possible cellular function.
