Multiple Ways to Keep FFAT Under Control!
Article in Contact (Thousand Oaks (Ventura County, Calif.)), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Peroxisomes and the ER are closely inter-connected organelles, which collaborate in the metabolism of lipids. In a recent research paper in the Journal of Cell Biology, we describe a novel mechanism by which peroxisome-ER membrane contact sites are regulated, via phosphorylation of the peroxisomal protein ACBD5. We found that the interaction between ACBD5 and the ER protein VAPB, which we have previously shown to form a tether complex at peroxisome-ER contacts, is controlled by phosphorylation of ACBD5 at two different sites of its FFAT motif - the VAPB binding site. We also identify the kinase GSK3-β as being responsible for direct phosphorylation of ACBD5 to negatively regulate interaction with VAPB, leading to reduced peroxisome-ER contacts. In this article we provide additional insights into how this work, in combination with other studies on phosphorylation of VAP interactors, suggests a complex system of both positive and negative regulation of the FFAT motif via phosphorylation.
