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

Post-Golgi transport plays a crucial role in establishing and maintaining cellular function; however, its mechanism of action remains unclear. Therefore, a system to manipulate post-Golgi transport is highly desirable. In this study, we developed a brefeldin A (BFA)-controlled system to block and restart post-Golgi transport freely, allowing the detailed observation of cargo exit from Golgi stacks using live-cell imaging, electron microscopy, and biochemical analysis. Using this system, glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein (GPI-AP) transport from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to Golgi-associated recycling endosomes (GA-REs) was visualized. GA-REs expanded during GPI-AP uptake, indicating maturation from the TGN into REs, which later detached as free REs released from the Golgi stacks. Tubular and pearled GPI-AP-positive structures formed on the TGN, which were likely GA-REs transporting GPI-AP from the TGN. REs matured in AP-1-deficient cells, whereas GA-RE detachment was impaired, and long-tubules were observed, thereby delaying GPI-AP delivery to the plasma membrane.
