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

Linking the distinctive structural and functional properties of lipids belonging to different signaling classes is a frontier of physiology. The present minireview focuses on the endocannabinoidome phospholipase NAPE-PLD, which has bile acids (BAs) as structural cofactors at membrane interface and generates bioactive N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) that promote pleiotropic effects. NAPE-PLD is thus at the crossroads of both their physiological functions, an area of ongoing research. The wide internal channel of NAPE-PLD facilitates the transmembrane transport of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) and can support the activity of PLP-dependent enzymes in mitochondria, peroxisome and other subcellular compartments. Recent insights demonstrate that drugs and agents that stabilize NAPE-PLD can control blood pressure, vascular resistance and cardiovascular morbidity in clinics, offering new perspectives on the interaction between NAEs and BAs in cardiometabolic and neurological disorders.
