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

Excessive lipid accumulation impairs digestion and gastrointestinal function. Transmembrane protein 135 (TMEM135) is involved in lipid metabolism of various tissues. Here, TMEM135 deficiency increased intestinal lipid absorption through ELOVL6-dependent oleoylethanolamide production and subsequent activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα), which upregulated CD36 at the plasma membrane in the intestine of mice fed a high-fat diet or lard oil. Despite this enhanced lipid uptake, long-term lipid accumulation was suppressed by elevated peroxisomal and mitochondrial β-oxidation through increased fatty acid oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation activities without chylomicron secretion in TMEM135-depleted intestine. Inhibition of PPARα or ELOVL6 attenuated these effects. Furthermore, consistent results were observed in both TMEM135 KO and intestine-specific TMEM135
