TBK1 restricts IRGQ-mediated autophagy.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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 autophagy-lysosome system directs the degradation of a wide variety of cytoplasmic cargo such as damaged organelles, protein aggregates, and invading pathogens. The autophagy receptor IRGQ harbors two distinct LIR domains, with LIR1 exhibiting high selectivity for GABARAPL2. Proteomic, biochemical, and high-throughput microscopy studies reveal that the IRGQ-GABARAPL2 complex functions as a hub for the interaction between hATG8s and the autophagy initiation machinery, promoting their lipidation and overall autophagic flux. The interaction of IRGQ with GABARAPL2 is regulated via TBK1. Upon TBK1 activation, GABARAPL2 is phosphorylated on S10, which disrupts IRGQ-GABARAPL2 complexation and therefore its interaction with the autophagy initiation machinery, resulting in a reduction of the autophagic flux of GABARAPL2 and IRGQ-cargo, without affecting bulk autophagy. These findings broaden IRGQ's role in autophagy, identifying it as an interaction hub for autophagy initiation that is negatively regulated by TBK1.
