Scramblases as Regulators of Autophagy and Lipid Homeostasis: Implications for NAFLD.
Article in Autophagy reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Equilibration of phospholipids between the two monolayers of the lipid bilayer of cellular membranes is mediated by scramblases acting as phospholipid shuttling proteins that are critical for cellular function, particularly during inter-organelle contact. Recent work has identified several protein scramblases, including TMEM41B, VMP1 and ATG9 that are critical in autophagy. More recently, ATG9, TMEM41B, and VMP1 have also been discovered to be important regulators of cellular lipid homeostasis. In vivo mouse models involving ablation of TMEM41B in liver have shown that knockout of these proteins can lead to rapid development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and systemic dyslipidemia, though this has not been explored yet with ATG9. The resulting phenotype is likely due to the combined effects of a severe lipid secretion defect caused by stalled neutral lipids export from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane bilayer coupled with increased lipogenesis. Here we briefly discuss recent exciting findings on the topic of scramblases in autophagy, their relevance to human non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/NASH, as well as future directions in this research.
