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

The nuclear envelope is a specialized subdomain of the endoplasmic reticulum and comprises the inner and outer nuclear membranes. Despite the crucial role of the inner nuclear membrane in genome regulation, its lipid metabolism remains poorly understood. Phosphatidic acid (PA) is essential for membrane growth as well as lipid storage. Using a genome-wide lipid biosensor screen in S. cerevisiae, we identify regulators of inner nuclear membrane PA homeostasis, including yeast Seipin, a known mediator of nuclear lipid droplet biogenesis. Here, we show that Seipin preserves nuclear envelope integrity by preventing its deformation and ectopic membrane formation. Mutations of specific regions of Seipin, some linked to human lipodystrophy, disrupt PA distribution at the inner nuclear membrane and nuclear lipid droplet formation. Investigating the Seipin co-factor Ldb16 reveals that a triacylglycerol binding site is crucial for lipid droplet formation, whereas PA regulation can be functionally separated. Our study highlights the potential of lipid biosensor screens for examining inner nuclear membrane lipid metabolism.
