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 a major cellular organelle for the synthesis and folding of secretory and transmembrane proteins, whose proper function underpins organellar homeostasis, proper tissue function, and organismal physiology. Protein quality control (PQC) systems at the ER include the unfolded protein response (UPR), ER-associated degradation (ERAD), and ER-phagy, which monitor ER homeostasis and contribute to protein refolding, sequestration, or degradation. ERAD prevents the accumulation of misfolded or orphan proteins that would otherwise be toxic. By controlling the degradation of these proteins, ERAD performs a core function in governing adaptation to proteotoxic stress. ERAD also regulates the abundance of folding-competent proteins as a means to fine-tune key physiological processes. Among its complex regulatory activities, ERAD controls cellular processes such as lipid homeostasis, calcium flux, and cell fate decisions, which are all required for the maintenance of organelle homeostasis. Highlighting its importance, dysregulation of ERAD often results in devastating diseases. Here, we discuss the molecular and mechanistic understanding of protein quality and quantity control by ERAD and its interface with ER-phagy, as well as other cellular stress programs. The implications of ERAD and its associated regulatory arms for cellular homeostasis, its effects on health and disease, and current therapeutic approaches are discussed.
