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

Here, we apply quantitative chemical proteomics and untargeted lipidomics to assign a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-specific triacylglycerol (TAG) lipase activity for diacylglycerol lipase-beta (DAGLβ) in macrophages. We demonstrate that DAGLβ but not DAGLα is expressed and active in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) as determined by activity-based protein profiling analysis of SILAC BMDMs. Genetic disruption of DAGLβ resulted in accumulation of cellular TAGs composed of PUFA but not saturated/low unsaturated fatty acid counterparts, which is recapitulated in wild-type macrophages treated with a DAGLβ-selective inhibitor. Biochemical assays with synthetic substrates confirm PUFA-TAGs as authentic DAGLβ substrates. In summary, our findings identify DAGLβ as a PUFA-specific TAG lipase in primary macrophages.
