NarL gene modulates the host lipid metabolism for survival of Salmonella Typhimurium in murine macrophages.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 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
backgroundSalmonella Typhimurium (STM) a gram negative, facultative, zoonotically important intracellular anaerobe causes nontyphoidal salmonellosis (NTS), which impacts huge economic losses in both veterinary and medical field. This bacterium manipulates various host processes, including host lipids metabolism for its survival. Nitrate anaerobic regulator L (NarL) is an important transcriptional regulator that mediates its pathogenesis under anaerobic conditions. However, the effect of narL on host lipid biogenesis is not well defined. METHODS AND
resultsIn this study, the effect of narL on lipid metabolism in murine macrophages infected with STM: Wild, STM: ΔnarL, and STM: cnarL was investigated. RAW264.7 macrophages infected with STM: ΔnarL exhibited 48.6% less lipid droplet (LD) accumulation at 6 h, but 50% more than STM: WT at 24 h. Further, quantification of LDs by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) showed significant accumulation of oleic acid among nonpolar lipids and phosphatidyl ethanolamine among polar lipids in infected murine macrophages. Quantification of enzymes involved in lipid metabolism by Real time PCR showed a significant upregulation (P ≤ 0.01) of agpat1, fasn, and dgat1 at 6 hpi; however, atgl, hsl, pla2, and pparα were found to be upregulated at 24 hpi. Moreover, there was more survivability of STM in presence of oleic acid than phosphatidyl ethanolamine. However, STM: ΔnarL showed significantly decrease (P ≤ 0.01) in colony forming unit (CFU) as compared to STM: WT at each time point in presence of both polar and non polar lipid.
conclusionThese finding suggests narL modulates lipid biogenesis inside the host cells. These observations provide an insight into the host pathogen interactions that would be targeted for developing new control strategies against salmonellosis.
