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

Endosomes transport lipids and proteins over long distances by shuttling along microtubules. They also carry mRNAs on their surface, but the precise molecular function of this trafficking process is unknown. By live cell imaging of polarized fungal hyphae, we show microtubule-dependent transport of septin mRNA and encoded septin protein on the same shuttling endosomes. Consistent with the hypothesis that septin mRNA is translated on endosomes, the accumulation of septin protein on endosomes requires the recruitment of septin mRNA. Furthermore, ribosomal proteins co-localise with shuttling endosomes, but only if mRNA is present. Importantly, endosomal trafficking is essential for an efficient delivery of septin protein to filaments at growth poles, a process necessary to establish unipolar growth. Thus, we propose that local mRNA translation loads endosomes with septins for assembly and efficient delivery to septin filaments.
