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 prenylated Rab acceptor protein 1 (PRA1) domain is a conserved domain encompassing four transmembrane domains (TMDs). ARL6IP5 (ADP ribosylation factor-like GTPase 6-interacting protein 5) is a member of the PRA1 family and interacts with the reticulon-homology domain (RHD)-containing proteins including ARL6IP1 (ADP ribosylation factor-like GTPase 6-interacting protein 1) and FAM134B. The RHD is a conserved domain encompassing two short hairpin TMDs and acts as a membrane-shaping unit for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) morphology and ER-phagy. However, the involvement of ARL6IP5 in ER morphology and ER-phagy remains unclear. We recently characterized ARL6IP5 as an ER membrane-shaping protein and found that ARL6IP5 constricts the ER membrane in a manner similar to ARL6IP1, possibly via short hairpin configuration of the TMDs in the PRA1 domain. ARL6IP5 also plays a redundant role with ARL6IP1 in shaping the ER membrane. Importantly, depletion of ARL6IP5 impaired FAM134B-meadited ER-phagy, which is reminiscent of ARL6IP1 depletion. These results suggested that ARL6IP5 acts as an ER membrane-shaping protein that regulates ER-phagy, underscoring the importance of the PRA1 domain. Although ARL6IP5 and ARL6IP1 are confusable protein names and seem to have similar roles in ER-phagy, we clarify in this punctum that they are distinct classes of ER membrane-shaping proteins.
