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

Microtubule dynamic instability underpins cellular architecture, division, and intracellular trafficking, yet how selective proteolytic pathways tune core microtubule regulators remains incompletely understood. Here, we identify SEC14L2 (SEC14-like lipid binding 2), a multidomain lipid transfer protein, as a determinant of microtubule organization and cellular architecture by limiting the accumulation of the microtubule-destabilizing factor Stathmin 1 (STMN1). We further show that STMN1 is a substrate of chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) and that SEC14L2 is required for efficient CMA-dependent STMN1 turnover. SEC14L2 loss is associated with reduced CMA activity, STMN1 stabilization, collapse of the microtubule network, and perinuclear organelle clustering. In breast cancer cell models, perturbation of this SEC14L2-CMA-STMN1 axis alters responses to microtubule-targeting agents.
