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

Cargo is transported from the trans-Golgi Network to the plasma membrane by adaptor complexes, which are pan-eukaryotic components. However, in yeast, cargo can also be exported by the exomer complex, a heterotetrameric protein complex consisting of two copies of Chs5, and any two members of four paralogous proteins (ChAPs). To understand the larger relevance of exomer, its phylogenetic distribution and function outside of yeast need to be explored. We find that the four ChAP proteins are derived from gene duplications after the divergence of Yarrowia from the remaining Saccharomycotina, with BC8 paralogues (Bch2 and Chs6) being more diverged relative to the BB8 paralogues (Bch1 and Bud7), suggesting neofunctionalization. Outside Ascomycota, a single preduplicate ChAP is present in nearly all Fungi and in diverse eukaryotes, but has been repeatedly lost. Chs5, however, is a fungal specific feature, appearing coincidentally with the loss of AP-4. In contrast, the ChAP protein is a wide-spread, yet uncharacterized, membrane-trafficking component, adding one more piece to the increasingly complex machinery deduced as being present in our ancient eukaryotic ancestor.
