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

Apolipoproteins L (APOLs) are membrane-associated proteins involved in both resistance to pathogens, such as APOL1-mediated killing of African trypanosomes or APOL3-mediated lysis of intracellular bacteria, and induction of diseases, like APOL1-mediated nephropathy or APOL2-mediated liver fibrosis. Accumulating evidence points to APOLs controlling membrane dynamics linked to immunity. APOL1 and APOL3 are induced by inflammatory signalling and play key roles in the initiation and termination of inflammation by promoting the traffic of Golgi-derived membranes involved in STING activation, as well as mitochondrial membrane fission and fusion involved in auto/mitophagy. APOL2, or murine mAPOL8, is required for profibrotic vesicle exocytosis, whereas mAPOL9 triggers bacterial membrane budding linked to gut immunity control. In dendritic cells, APOL3 or the APOL3-like mAPOL7C promote megapore formation in phagosomal membranes, allowing antigen cross-presentation and apoptosis, both probably linked to cardiolipin solubilization. In adipocytes, mAPOL6 controls inflammation-linked lipid droplets dynamics. Through their membrane-remodeling activities, APOLs participate in the control of infection by bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Thus, natural APOLs mutations represent inborn errors of immunity.
