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

In humans, lysophosphatidylserines (lyso-PSs) are potent lipid regulators of important immunological processes. Given their structural diversity and commercial paucity, here we report the synthesis of methyl esters of lyso-PS (Me-lyso-PSs) containing medium- to very-long-chain (VLC) lipid tails. We show that Me-lyso-PSs are excellent substrates for the lyso-PS lipase ABHD12, and that these synthetic lipids are acted upon by cellular carboxylesterases to produce lyso-PSs. Next, in macrophages we demonstrate that VLC lyso-PSs orchestrate pro-inflammatory responses and in turn neuroinflammation via a Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2)-dependent pathway. We also show that long-chain (LC) lyso-PSs robustly induce intracellular cyclic AMP production, cytosolic calcium influx, and phosphorylation of the nodal extracellular signal-regulated kinase to regulate macrophage activation via a TLR2-independent pathway. Finally, we report that LC lyso-PSs potently elicit histamine release during the mast cell degranulation process, and that ABHD12 is the major lyso-PS lipase in these immune cells.
