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

Acyl-CoA:monoacylglycerol acyltransferase (MGAT) plays a predominant role in the resynthesis of triacylglycerol in the small intestine, but its contribution to triacylglycerol synthesis in other tissues, such as the liver, is not clear. In this study, we identified a novel MGAT gene, which is identical with lysophosphatidylglycerol acyltransferase1 (LPGAT1). Mouse LPGAT1 is expressed in a number of tissues and most highly expressed in the liver. Hepatic LPGAT1 expression in diabetic db/db mice is higher than that in the control db/m mouse, which is consistent with increased hepatic MGAT activity in db/db mouse. To elucidate the role of LPGAT1 gene in lipid metabolism in db/db mice, we constructed an adenovirus of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting LPGAT1 to selectively knockdown LPGAT1 gene expression in the liver. Hepatic MGAT activity and LPGAT1 expression in db/db mice infected with LPGAT1 shRNA adenovirus were significantly lower than those in mice infected with the control virus. Notably, treatment with LPGAT1 shRNA adenovirus caused a marked reduction in serum triacylglycerol and cholesterol levels and a significant increase in hepatic cholesterol level. These findings indicate that LPGAT1, a newly identified MGAT enzyme, plays a significant role in hepatic triacylglycerol synthesis and secretion in db/db mice.
