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 endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is structurally and functionally diverse, yet how its functions are organized within morphological subdomains is incompletely understood. Utilizing TurboID-based proximity labeling and CRISPR knockin technologies, we map the proteomic landscape of the human ER network. Sub-organelle proteomics reveals enrichments of proteins into ER tubules, sheets, and the nuclear envelope. We uncover an ER-enriched actin-binding protein, calmin/CLMN, and define it as an ER-actin tether that localizes to focal adhesions adjacent to ER tubules. Mechanistically, we find that CLMN depletion perturbs adhesion disassembly, actin dynamics, and cell movement. CLMN-depleted cells display decreased polarization of ER-plasma membrane contacts and calcium signaling factor STIM1 and altered calcium signaling near ER-actin interfaces, suggesting that CLMN influences calcium signaling to facilitate F-actin/adhesion dynamics. Collectively, we map the sub-organelle proteome landscape of the ER, identify CLMN as an ER-actin tether, and describe a non-canonical mechanism by which ER tubules engage actin to regulate cell migration.
