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

Autophagic degradation of parts of the nucleus (nucleophagy) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER-phagy) utilizes the selective autophagy receptors, Atg39 and Atg40, that link their target structures to the autophagy machinery. Here, we show that a complex of three proteins, Apq12, Brr6, and Brl1, is needed for both Atg39-dependent nucleophagy and Atg40-dependent ER-phagy. Apq12, Brr6, and Brl1 each have two transmembrane domains flanking a luminal region that contains an amphipathic helix. The Apq12/Brr6/Brl1 complex has been implicated in membrane remodeling during nuclear pore formation. While autophagosomal flux is unaffected by the loss of Apq12, Brr6, or Brl1, vacuolar delivery of outer and inner nuclear membrane proteins (Hmg1, Nvj1, and Src1), pan-ER proteins (Sec63 and Per33), and an ER tubule junction protein (Lnp1) is blocked.
