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 release of exosomes involves the fusion of multivesicular bodies (MVBs) with the plasma membrane (PM), a process driven by the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex. However, the specific SNARE complex mediating MVB-PM fusion and its regulatory mechanism remain unclear. Here, we show that Coronin-1a (Coro1a) increases extracellular vesicle (EV) biogenesis by promoting the assembly of the STX-12-SNAP-23-VAMP-7 SNARE complex independent of neddylation. Mechanistically, Coro1a activates pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) to enhance SNAP-23 phosphorylation, thereby driving the recruitment of STX-12 and VAMP-7. Consequently, Coro1a-induced EV biogenesis is abolished by PKM2 inhibition or SNAP-23 silencing. Furthermore, Coro1a levels are elevated in lung tumor tissues and correlate with poor patient survival, suggesting that Coro1a-mediated enhancement of EV production contributes to tumor progression. Our data demonstrate that Coro1a facilitates EV biogenesis by promoting SNARE complex assembly during MVB and PM fusion.
