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

Autophagy is a multi-step process regulated in part by AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Phosphorylation of threonine 172 on the AMPK α-subunit enhances AMPK kinase activity, resulting in activation of downstream signaling. Integrin-mediated cell adhesion activates Src/ Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) signaling complex, which regulates multiple cellular processes including cell survival. We show here that Src signaling leads to direct phosphorylation of the AMPK-α subunit on a novel site, tyrosine 179, resulting in suppression of AMPK-T172 phosphorylation and autophagy upon integrin-mediated cell adhesion. By using chemical inhibitors, genetic cell models and targeted mutagenesis, we confirm an important role for Src and FAK in suppressing AMPK signaling and autophagy induced by various additional stimuli, including glucose starvation. Furthermore, we found that autophagy suppression by hydroxychloroquine promotes apoptosis in a cancer cell model that had been treated with Src inhibitors. Our findings reveal a link between the Src/ FAK complex and AMPK/ autophagy regulation, which may play an important role in the maintenance of normal cellular homeostasis and tumor progression.
