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 majority of hepatic intracellular triacylglycerol (TG) is mobilized by lipolysis followed by reesterification to reassemble TG before incorporation into a very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) particle. Triacylglycerol hydrolase (TGH) is a lipase that hydrolyzes TG within hepatocytes. Immunogold electron microscopy in transfected cells revealed a disparate distribution of this enzyme within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), with particularly intense localization in regions surrounding mitochondria. TGH is localized to the lumen of the ER by the C-terminal tetrapeptide sequence HIEL functioning as an ER retention signal. Deletion of HIEL resulted in secretion of catalytically active TGH. Mutation of HIEL to KDEL, which is the consensus ER retrieval sequence in animal cells, also resulted in ER retention and conservation of lipolytic activity. However, KDEL-TGH was not as efficient at mobilizing lipids for VLDL secretion and exhibited an altered distribution within the ER. TGH is a glycoprotein, but glycosylation is not required for catalytic activity. TGH does not hydrolyze apolipoprotein B-associated lipids. This suggests a mechanism for vectored movement of TGs onto developing VLDL in the ER as TGH may mobilize TG for VLDL assembly, but will not access this lipid once it is associated with VLDL.
