Ubiquitination of secretory granules promotes their crinophagic degradation in Drosophila.
Article in FEBS letters, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Gland cells dynamically regulate their secretory granule content via balancing synthesis, maturation, secretion, and lysosomal degradation (crinophagy). However, the signal(s) leading to crinophagic breakdown of secretory granules are unknown. Here, we show that ubiquitination of unreleased or low-grade glue-containing secretory granules marks these vesicles for crinophagy in larval salivary gland cells of Drosophila. We identify the ubiquitin ligase Cnot4 as a key mediator of glue granule ubiquitination. Loss of Cnot4 prevents ubiquitination and impairs granule fusion with lysosomes. Overexpression of Cnot4 induces premature crinophagy via ectopic ubiquitination of granules. Our work establishes that Cnot4-dependent ubiquitination of secretory granules is a key trigger of crinophagy in Drosophila, paving the way for further analysis of this barely characterized degradation route in metazoans.
