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

Milk fat is the major energy component of milk, and regulation of its production relies on transcription factors sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ). As one of the target genes of SREBP1 and PPARγ, fatty acid-binding protein 3(FABP3) is the main protein allowing for rapid diffusion and selective targeting of long-chain fatty acids toward specific organelles for metabolism. Whether FABP3 plays an important role in milk fat synthesis signaling pathway is largely unknown. In this study, we observed the effects of FABP3 overexpression and gene silencing in dairy cow mammary epithelial cells, as well as the effects of oleic acid, stearic acid, and palmitic acid on the expressions of FABP3 and lipid droplet formation, by using quantitative reverse transcriptase (qRT)-PCR, Western blotting, and fluorescent immunostaining techniques. FABP3 upregulated the expression of SREBP1 and PPARγ to increase lipid droplet accumulation. Oleic acid, stearic acid, and palmitic acid also increased lipid droplet accumulation by affecting expression of FABP3. These findings shed new insights for understanding the mechanism of FABP3 in regulating milk fat synthesis.
