Synthetic Lipid Biology.
Review in Chemical reviews, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Cells contain thousands of different lipids. Their rapid and redundant metabolism, dynamic movement, and many interactions with other biomolecules have justly earned lipids a reputation as a vexing class of molecules to understand. Further, as the cell's hydrophobic metabolites, lipids assemble into supramolecular structures─most commonly bilayers, or membranes─from which they carry out myriad biological functions. Motivated by this daunting complexity, researchers across disciplines are bringing order to the seeming chaos of biological lipids and membranes. Here, we formalize these efforts as "synthetic lipid biology". Inspired by the idea, central to synthetic biology, that our abilities to understand and build biological systems are intimately connected, we organize studies and approaches across numerous fields to create, manipulate, and analyze lipids and biomembranes. These include construction of lipids and membranes from scratch using chemical and chemoenzymatic synthesis, editing of pre-existing membranes using optogenetics and protein engineering, detection of lipid metabolism and transport using bioorthogonal chemistry, and probing of lipid-protein interactions and membrane biophysical properties. What emerges is a portrait of an incipient field where chemists, biologists, physicists, and engineers work together in proximity─like lipids themselves─to build a clearer description of the properties, behaviors, and functions of lipids and membranes.
