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

Coat protein complex II (COPII) mediates anterograde trafficking from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). While the core COPII machinery is well-characterized, how cells regulate COPII to accommodate large cargoes, including collagens, remains incompletely understood. Here, we show that the cargo-selecting COPII subunit Sec24D is modified by site-specific O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) in its N-terminal intrinsically disordered region upon induction of collagen transport. These glycosylations are required for collagen trafficking in human cells and developing zebrafish. Crosslinking proteomics demonstrated that each O-GlcNAcylation influences the Sec24D interactome in a distinct way, regulating nearly all steps of COPII-mediated transport through protein-protein interactions. In particular, myoferlin interacts with glycosylated Sec24D and unexpectedly facilitates fusion of ER exit sites (ERES) and the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) to enable collagen transport. Our results establish Sec24D O-GlcNAcylation as a dynamic regulator of COPII protein-protein interactions and collagen trafficking and identify myoferlin as a mediator of this process.
