Moving the fat: Emerging roles of rab GTPases in the regulation of lipid droplet contact sites.
Review in Current opinion in cell biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Lipid droplets (LDs) play crucial roles in lipid metabolism, energy homeostasis, and cellular stress. Throughout their lifecycle, LDs establish membrane contact sites (MCSs) with the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, peroxisomes, endosomes, lysosomes, and phagosomes. LD MCSs are dynamically generated in response to metabolic or immune cues to ensure that LD lipids (and proteins) are timely delivered to optimize valuable substrates and avoid lipotoxicity. It is increasingly evident that many Rab GTPases are involved in LD dynamics. Here, we summarize our current understanding of how and when Rab proteins dynamically drive the generation of LD MCSs and regulate a variety of LD functions.
