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

The endolysosomal system fulfils a myriad of cellular functions predicated on regulated membrane identity progressions, collectively termed maturation. Mature or "late" endosomes are designated by small membrane-bound GTPases Rab7 and Arl8b, which can either operate independently or collaborate to form a joint compartment. Whether, and how, Rab7 and Arl8b resolve this hybrid identity compartment to regain functional autonomy is unknown. Here, we report that Arl8b employs its effector SKIP to instigate inactivation and removal of Rab7 from select membranes. We find that SKIP interacts with Rab7 and functions as its negative effector, delivering the cognate GAP, TBC1D15. Recruitment of TBC1D15 to SKIP occurs via the HOPS complex, whose assembly is facilitated by contacts between Rab7 and the KMI motif of SKIP. Consequently, SKIP mediates reinstatement of single identity Arl8b sub-compartment through an ordered Rab7-to-Arl8b handover, and, together with Rab7's positive effector RILP, enforces spatial, temporal and morphological compartmentalization of endolysosomal organelles.
