A metabolic entry point into micro-chlorophagy: insights from impaired maltose metabolism.
Article in Autophagy reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
As the site of photosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism, chloroplasts are essential for phototrophic plant growth. The selective elimination of damaged chloroplasts by autophagy, a process known as chlorophagy, is crucial for chloroplast quality control. However, the mechanisms that activate chlorophagy and that underline its specificity remain poorly understood. Our recent study identified changes in maltose metabolism as a previously unrecognized trigger of a micro-chlorophagy program that depends on components of the core autophagy machinery. These findings provide a new starting point for uncovering the molecular principles that govern micro-chlorophagy. Here, we discuss emerging evidence showing that metabolic changes induce autophagic chloroplast turnover and outline the key challenges in defining the signals that initiate micro-chlorophagy.
