The Effects of Regulatory Lipids on Intracellular Membrane Fusion Mediated by Dynamin-Like GTPases.
Review in Frontiers in cell and developmental biology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Membrane fusion mediates a number of fundamental biological processes such as intracellular membrane trafficking, fertilization, and viral infection. Biological membranes are composed of lipids and proteins; while lipids generally play a structural role, proteins mediate specific functions in the membrane. Likewise, although proteins are key players in the fusion of biological membranes, there is emerging evidence supporting a functional role of lipids in various membrane fusion events. Intracellular membrane fusion is mediated by two protein families: SNAREs and membrane-bound GTPases. SNARE proteins are involved in membrane fusion between transport vesicles and their target compartments, as well as in homotypic fusion between organelles of the same type. Membrane-bound GTPases mediate mitochondrial fusion and homotypic endoplasmic reticulum fusion. Certain membrane lipids, known as regulatory lipids, regulate these membrane fusion events by directly affecting the function of membrane-bound GTPases, instead of simply changing the biophysical and biochemical properties of lipid bilayers. In this review, we provide a summary of the current understanding of how regulatory lipids affect GTPase-mediated intracellular membrane fusion by focusing on the functions of regulatory lipids that directly affect fusogenic GTPases.
