LipidFun: a database of lipid functions.
Article in Bioinformatics (Oxford, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
motivationLipids play crucial roles in various biological functions and diseases. However, a gap exists in databases providing information of lipids functions based on curated information. Consequently, LipidFun is purposed as the first lipid function database with sentence-level evidence detailing lipid-related phenotypes and biological functions.
resultsPotential lipid functions were extracted from the biomedical literature using natural language processing techniques, with accuracy and reliability ensured through manual curation by four domain experts. LipidFun constructs classification systems for lipids, biological functions, and phenotypes for named entity recognition. Sentence-level evidence is extracted to highlight connections to lipid-associated biological processes and diseases. Integrating these classification systems and a large amount of sentence-level evidence allows LipidFun to provide an overview of lipid-phenotype and lipid-biological function associations through concise visualizations. Overall, LipidFun unravels the relationships between lipids and biological mechanisms, underscoring their overarching influence on physiological processes. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: LipidFun is available at https://lipidfun.bioinfomics.org/.
