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 zebrafish fat-free (ffr) mutation was identified in a physiological screen for genes that regulate lipid metabolism. ffr mutant larvae are morphologically indistinguishable from wild-type sibling larvae, but their absorption of fluorescent lipids is severely impaired. Through positional cloning, we have identified a causative mutation in a highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed gene within the ffr locus. The Ffr protein contains a Dor-1 like domain typical of oligomeric Golgi complex (COG) gene, cog8. Golgi complex ultrastructure is disrupted in the ffr digestive tract. Consistent with a possible role in COG-mediated Golgi function, wild-type Ffr-GFP and COG8-mRFP fusion proteins partially colocalize in zebrafish blastomeres. Enterocyte retention of an endosomal lipid marker in ffr larvae support the idea that altered vesicle trafficking contributes to the ffr mutant defect. These data indicate that ffr is required for both Golgi structure and vesicular trafficking, and ultimately lipid transport.
