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 transcription factor ATF6α has a central role in adapting mammalian cells to ER stress via the unfolded protein response (UPR), prompting efforts to identify ATF6α modulators. Here, an unbiased genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screen performed in Chinese Hamster Ovary cells revealed that proteolytic processing of the ATF6α precursor to its active form was impaired in cells lacking the ER-resident solute carrier SLC33A1, a transporter previously implicated in acetyl-CoA import, sialylation, and Nε-lysine protein acetylation. Cells lacking SLC33A1 constitutively trafficked the ATF6α to the Golgi but exhibited impaired Golgi processing and activating proteolysis. IRE1α signalling was derepressed by SLC33A1 deficiency consistent with selective loss of ATF6α-mediated negative feedback in the UPR.
