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

This study investigates the role of Perilipin1 (PLIN1) in milk fat synthesis in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) and its regulatory mechanisms, aiming to provide a foundation for improving milk fat content through molecular breeding. BMECs were used as a model to analyze the effects of PLIN1 overexpression (OE-PLIN1) and interference (si-PLIN1) on milk fat synthesis and lipid-related gene expression using RT-qPCR, Western blot, and Oil Red O staining. Results show that OE-PLIN1 significantly enhances triglyceride (TAG) accumulation in BMECs (P < 0.01), upregulates lipid synthesis-related genes (such as PPARγ, C/EBPα, C/EBPβ, FABP4, FASN) (P < 0.05), and downregulates the mRNA expression of lipid breakdown-related genes (HSL, ATGL) (P < 0.05). Conversely, si-PLIN1 significantly reduces TAG accumulation (P < 0.05) and lowers the expression of lipid synthesis and breakdown genes (P < 0.05). Additionally, OE-PLIN1 combined with SREBP1 siRNA interference (si-SREBP1) did not have a significant impact on the mRNA and protein levels of SREBP1, but it significantly altered SREBP1's phosphorylation, indicating that SREBP1 interference inhibits PLIN1's effect on milk fat synthesis. This study suggests that PLIN1 promotes milk fat synthesis in BMECs via regulating SREBP1 activity, offering a new strategy for enhancing milk fat content in dairy cattle.
