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

The dynamic and tissue-specific nature of protein secretion underlies a wide range of physiological and pathological processes, yet tools for profiling the in vivo secretome with high spatial and temporal resolution remain limited. Here, we present STePTag (Spatio-Temporal Protein Tagging), a conditional proximity labeling (PL) system for profiling secreted proteins in live animals. STePTag integrates the rapid labeling kinetics of the PL enzyme TurboID with a destabilized dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) domain, enabling tight post-translational control of labeling activity through the small-molecule stabilizer trimethoprim (TMP). Targeting STePTag to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) confines labeling to the secretory pathway and enables robust labeling within 10 min of TMP administration. Furthermore, we design tissue-specific lipid nanoparticles (tsLNPs) to enable programmable, in vivo delivery of STePTag to the mouse liver. Using this approach, we identified 93 liver-derived secretory proteins under physiological conditions and uncovered 40 dynamically regulated proteins in a model of acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury (ALI), including Aldh1a1, which we functionally validated as a protective factor in ALI. Together, STePTag provides a versatile platform for spatiotemporally resolved secretome profiling, enabling the discovery of context-dependent biomarkers and tissue-derived signaling molecules in native physiological environments.
