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

Annexin A6 (ANXA6) regulates cholesterol transfer across membrane contact sites (MCSs) between late endosomes/lysosomes (LE/Lys) and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via the late endosomal StAR-related lipid transfer domain-3 (STARD3) transporter. Here, we describe a significant reduction of MCSs in ANXA6-depleted HeLa cells, which could be rescued by restoration of ANXA6 expression. Using AnxA6 as bait in BioID-based assays, we demonstrate that ANXA6 interacts with various tethers and bona fide MCS proteins that can modulate multi-organelle contacts. STARD3 interactors identified in BioID assays include the mitochondrial translocator protein (TSPO) and myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9). Strikingly, reduced MCS formation in ANXA6-depleted cells was associated with changes in the STARD3 interactome that indicate altered MCS tethering functions of STARD3. Specifically, ANXA6 deficiency correlated with (1) altered positioning of STARD3-positive LE/Lys; (2) a new repertoire of cortical actin-binding proteins, including myosins interacting with STARD3; (3) and decreased microvillar structures and focal adhesions.
