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

Signaling lipids are important hormone-like biomolecules that regulate many physiological processes in humans. However, a significant number of them still remain poorly characterized, despite their direct association to human diseases. While the signaling pathways regulated by the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl-glycerol in mammals are extensively characterized, the same cannot be said about other members of the monoacylglycerol (MAG) family of signaling lipids. Here, we report the synthesis of a bifunctional MAG probe, containing a photoreactive group and an alkyne handle. Using established chemoproteomics approaches coupled to bioorthogonal chemistry, we profile this bifunctional MAG probe in mouse brain and mammalian cell proteomes, and identify hitherto unknown protein ligands for MAG lipids. Finally, we find that the neuronal calcium sensor Hippocalcin is indeed a putative MAG protein ligand, and show that MAG lipids may have a role to play in calcium sensing and downstream signaling in the mammalian brain.
