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

Regulation of membrane lipid composition is crucial for many aspects of cell growth and development. Lipins, a novel family of phosphatidate (PA) phosphatases that generate diacylglycerol (DAG) from PA, are emerging as essential regulators of fat metabolism, adipogenesis, and organelle biogenesis. The mechanisms that govern lipin translocation onto membranes are largely unknown. Here we show that recruitment of the yeast lipin (Pah1p) is regulated by PA levels onto the nuclear/endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. Recruitment requires the transmembrane protein phosphatase complex Nem1p-Spo7p. Once dephosphorylated, Pah1p can bind to the nuclear/ER membrane independently of Nem1p-Spo7p via a short amino-terminal amphipathic helix. Dephosphorylation enhances the activity of Pah1p, both in vitro and in vivo, but only in the presence of a functional helix. The helix is required for both phospholipid and triacylglycerol biosynthesis. Our data suggest that dephosphorylation of Pah1p by the Nem1p-Spo7p complex enables the amphipathic helix to anchor Pah1p onto the nuclear/ER membrane allowing the production of DAG for lipid biosynthesis.
