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 Golgi apparatus expands during differentiation and increased secretory demand, yet the transcriptional mechanisms governing its biogenesis remain poorly defined. To investigate this process, we developed an enzymatic approach to ablate preexisting Golgi and induce large-scale de novo organelle formation. Transcriptional profiling of cells rebuilding the Golgi revealed a coordinated induction of a broad gene network, coinciding with structural and functional maturation of the organelle. This network spans all Golgi subcompartments and activities, supporting the existence of a unified "Golgi regulon" that synchronizes expression of components required for organelle integrity. Failure to activate this regulon impaired Golgi reassembly. Promoter analysis and RNAi screening identified CREB3L1 as a central transcription factor for Golgi gene activation. Following Golgi loss, CREB3L1 translocates to the nucleus and activates its target genes, thereby driving biosynthesis of the components that are essential for organelle assembly. These findings demonstrate that Golgi biogenesis is governed by a coordinated transcriptional program that promotes organelle regeneration and enables secretory-pathway plasticity. This mechanism may support physiological remodeling by coupling Golgi biogenesis to cellular demand.
