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

Seeking to better understand how membrane trafficking is coordinated with phospholipid synthesis in yeast, we investigated lipid synthesis in several Sec(-) temperature-sensitive mutants, including sec13-1. Upon shift of sec13-1 cells to the restrictive temperature of 37 degrees C, phospholipid synthesis decreased dramatically relative to the wild type control, whereas synthesis of neutral lipids, especially triacylglycerol (TAG), increased. When examined by fluorescence microscopy, the number of lipid droplets appeared to increase and formed aggregates in sec13-1 cells shifted to 37 degrees C. Electron microscopy confirmed the increase in lipid droplet number and revealed that many were associated with the vacuole. Analysis of lipid metabolism in strains lacking TAG synthase genes demonstrated that the activities of the products of these genes contribute to accumulation of TAG in sec13-1 cells after the shift to 37 degrees C. Furthermore, the permissive temperature for growth of the sec13-1 strain lacking TAG synthase genes was 3 degrees C lower than sec13-1 on several different growth media, indicating that the synthesis of TAG has physiological significance under conditions of secretory stress. Together these results suggest that following a block in membrane trafficking, yeast cells channel lipid metabolism from phospholipid synthesis into synthesis of TAG and other neutral lipids to form lipid droplets. We conclude that this metabolic switch provides a degree of protection to cells during secretory stress.
