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 mammalian diacylglycerol kinases (DGK) are a group of enzymes having important roles in regulating many biological processes. Both the product and the substrate of these enzymes, i.e. diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid, are important lipid signalling molecules. Each DGK isoform appears to have a distinct biological function as a consequence of its location in the cell and/or the proteins with which it associates. This review discusses three of the more extensively studied forms of this enzyme, DGKalpha, DGKvarepsilon, and DGKzeta. DGKalpha has an important role in immune function and its activity is modulated by several mechanisms. DGKvarepsilon has several unique features among which is its specificity for arachionoyl-containing substrates, suggesting its importance in phosphatidylinositol cycling. DGKzeta is expressed in many tissues and also has several mechanisms to regulate its functions. It is localized in several subcellular organelles, including the nucleus. The current state of our understanding of the properties and functions of these proteins is reviewed.
