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

Retention in endoplasmic reticulum sorting receptor 1 (RER1) mediates the retention and retrieval of select cargo proteins, and thereby regulates protein transport in the secretory pathway and assembly of distinct protein complexes. Recently, RER1 was implicated in the assembly and subcellular transport of the TREM2-DAP12 immune receptor complex, and its function in intracellular signaling and phagocytosis. However, the role of RER1 in the regulation of immune cell metabolism remained unknown. Here, we demonstrate an important role of RER1 in the lipid metabolism of monocytic and macrophage-like differentiated THP-1 cells. The deficiency of RER1 resulted in the accumulation of lipid droplets (LDs) in both monocytes and macrophage-like cells. Comprehensive mass spectrometry analyses revealed complex changes in the cellular lipid metabolism and the composition of LDs. RNA sequencing revealed an important role of RER1 in the regulation of genes related to lipid metabolism. Further, western immunoblotting confirmed an important role of RER1 in the expression of select key proteins involved in cellular lipid metabolism. The combined data indicate that RER1 plays an essential role in lipid metabolism in monocytes and macrophages.
