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

This review systematically summarizes the central roles and molecular mechanisms of the cytoskeletal system-including actin filaments, microtubules (MT), intermediate filaments, and the Septin family-in the regulation of autophagy. The cytoskeleton not only provides a structural framework and facilitates transport for the autophagic process but also acts as a dynamic signaling hub, participating in every stage from autophagosome formation and cargo recognition to targeted trafficking and autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Actin filaments regulate the initiation of autophagy through dynamic assembly, Arp2/3-mediated nucleation, and mechanosensing. Microtubules drive the transport and localization of autophagosomes by relying on "dynamic instability" and the "tubulin code". Intermediate filaments-such as vimentin-and septins influence autophagy flux by maintaining organelle integrity, forming molecular scaffolds, and establishing diffusion barriers on membranes. This review further discusses the functional implications of this regulatory network in diverse physiological and pathological neuroimmune contexts, including neurodegeneration and aging. Finally, we highlight that targeting the cytoskeleton-autophagy interaction axis may offer novel therapeutic strategies for related diseases.
