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

Sphingolipids are structural components of organelle membranes that also participate in signal transduction pathways. Complex sphingolipids are trafficked from their site of synthesis in organelles of the early secretory pathway to the Golgi apparatus, the plasma membrane, and the endo-lysosomal system. We have developed fluorescence microscopy-based methods to monitor sphingolipid trafficking in coordination with secretory protein sorting. A sphingomyelin binding protein fused to a fluorescent protein, which we term "EQ-SM," is implemented to monitor sphingomyelin trafficking from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane via secretory vesicles. A protocol is provided to determine if a query protein of interest is secreted from the cell via vesicles enriched in EQ-SM, an indication that the vesicle membrane is enriched in sphingomyelin. A complementary protocol is described that implements a chemically modified form of sphingosine, a metabolic precursor to complex sphingolipids, to visualize ceramide and complex sphingolipids in fixed cells. © 2018 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
