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

Intracellular ascorbic acid (AA) regulation is essential for connective tissue homeostasis; however, the precise mechanisms governing AA homeostasis during cellular stress remain poorly understood. Here, we identify an oxidative stress-induced glucose transporter 10 (GLUT10) intracellular trafficking mechanism that regulates AA homeostasis via a noncanonical route from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the plasma membrane (PM) and ultimately to mitochondria. This mechanism bridges the traditionally considered spatially and mechanistically distinct pathways of endomembrane system trafficking and mitochondria targeting. Using live-cell imaging and complementary biochemical approaches, we demonstrate that oxidative stress drives this redistribution. Increased PM localization of GLUT10 enhances the uptake of dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), the oxidized form of AA, thereby sustaining intracellular AA levels. The disruption of this trafficking pathway impairs AA homeostasis. Our findings reveal previously unrecognized localization of GLUT10 at the PM and endosomes and uncover endomembrane-mitochondria communication that maintains intracellular AA homeostasis and supports adaptation to oxidative stress.
