RNA interference-mediated knockdown of DGAT1 decreases triglyceride content of bovine mammary epithelial cell line.
Article in Gene expression, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Diacylglyceroltransferase-1 (DGAT1) expresses in nearly all tissues, including the mammary gland. Mice lacking DGAT1 exhibit decreased triglyceride content in mammary tissue, and are resistant to diet-induced obesity and diabetes mellitus. Thus, DGAT1 has received considerable attention. In the present study, the function of DGAT1 was examined by liposome mediated RNA interference (RNAi) to knockdown the expression of endogenous DGAT1 expression in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMEC) and the changes of the biological functions of cells were analyzed. The mRNA and protein levels, intracellular triglyceride (TG) content, and total protein of BMECs were analyzed by real-time PCR, Western blot, TG kit, and ultraviolet spectrophotometer, respectively, before and after RNAi treatment. The results indicated that knockdown of DGAT1 expression significantly reduced TG content in BMECs. This study further confirmed the importance of DGAT1 in triglyceride synthesis in bovine mammary tissue.
