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

Macroautophagy is thought to have a critical role in shaping and refining cellular proteostasis in eukaryotic cells recovering from DNA damage. Autophagy activation has been previously reported in DNA-damaged cells, often in association with increased cellular cytotoxicity. However, we now report a mechanism by which autophagy is suppressed in the absence of cytotoxicity within cells exposed to bacterial toxin-, chemical-, or radiation-mediated sources of genotoxicity. Specifically, our studies demonstrate the DNA damage response-dependent stabilization of the tumor suppressor p53, which is both required and sufficient for regulating the ubiquitination and proteasome-dependent reduction in cellular pools of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3A/B), a key precursor of autophagosome biogenesis and maturation, in both epithelial cells and an
