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

Very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) are precursors for various lipids playing important physiological and structural roles in plants. Throughout plant tissues, VLCFA are present in multiple lipid classes essential for membrane homeostasis, and also stored in triacylglycerols. VLCFA and their derivatives are also highly abundant in lipid barriers, such as cuticular waxes in aerial epidermal cells and suberin monomers in roots. VLCFA are produced by the fatty acid elongase (FAE), which is an integral endoplasmic reticulum membrane multi-enzymatic complex consisting of four core enzymes. The 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthase (KCS) catalyzes the first reaction of the elongation and determines the chain-length substrate specificity of each elongation cycle, whereas the other three enzymes have broad substrate specificities and are shared by all FAE complexes. Consistent with the co-existence of multiple FAE complexes, performing sequential and/or parallel reactions to produce the broad chain-length-range of VLCFA found in plants, twenty-one KCS genes have been identified in the genome of
