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 unfolded protein response (UPR) is a highly orchestrated survival response initiated in cells under endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Steroidogenic acute regulatory-related lipid transfer domain 5 (StarD5) is an ER stress-responsive, cholesterol-binding protein under the regulation of IRE1. Based upon in vitro findings, StarD5 delivers a protective response by translocating ER cholesterol to the plasma membrane (PM) and accompanying protective changes in PM fluidity. The study aimed to determine if StarD5's ability to provide in vitro hepatocyte protective responses is translatable to in vivo conditions. ER stress in mouse livers was induced by intraperitoneal injection of tunicamycin (Tm). Adenovirus was used to restore the expression of StarD5 in the livers of StarD5
