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
The organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 and OATP1B3 are hepatic transporters that mediate the uptake of numerous therapeutics like antibiotics and statins. Various post-translational modifications, eg, phosphorylation and glycosylation, have been shown to impact OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 function and localization. S-palmitoylation (also known as S-acylation or palmitoylation) is a reversible post-translational modification that adds palmitic acid (C16:0) to cysteine residues and can influence a protein's function, localization, and protein-protein interactions. In this study, we investigated and characterized palmitoylation in OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. Using site-directed mutagenesis and acyl-resin-assisted capture assays, residue Cys24 was identified as the palmitoylation site for both these proteins. Uptake function and surface biotinylation experiments demonstrated that palmitoylation does not affect the individual function and surface expression of OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. Coexpression studies revealed a decrease in OATP1B1-OATP1B3 interactions when nonpalmitoylated OATP1B1 or nonpalmitoylated OATP1B3 are coexpressed with their wild-type counterparts, suggesting that S-palmitoylation regulates protein-protein interactions between OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This study identified and characterized palmitoylation of the organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 and OATP1B3. Both OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 can be palmitoylated on the conserved Cys24 residue. Palmitoylation of these 2 transporters does not impact their individual function or surface expression. However, the interaction between these 2 proteins is affected when their palmitoylation state is altered.
