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

We have previously established a correlation between reduced mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase-1 (GPAT-1) activity and decreased proliferation in splenic T-lymphocytes from aged rats. To better understand the immunoregulatory role of GPAT-1, we examined T-lymphocyte function in young GPAT-1 knockout (KO) mice. We show that without GPAT-1, T-lymphocyte proliferation is inhibited and activation induced apoptosis is increased. Th-1 (IL-2 and IFN-gamma) cytokine secretion is reduced, and Th-2 (IL-4 and IL-10) cytokine secretion is increased. These changes may be due to alterations in membrane lipid composition since we found changes in the relative content of individual phospholipid species. Furthermore, we show increased arachidonate content and subsequent increased prostaglandin E(2) secretion, which may inhibit T-lymphocyte proliferation. Taken together, we show a novel link between GPAT-1 and changes in T-lymphocyte function. These data have broad health implications because GPAT-1 suppression has recently been implicated as a new target for preventing insulin sensitivity and hepatic steatosis and we show that immune function may also be affected. Interestingly, the changes in young GPAT-1 KO splenic T-lymphocytes are similar to defects commonly seen in T-lymphocytes from aged rodents, which further underscores the significance of GPAT-1 in T-lymphocyte function.
