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

Lipid droplets (LDs) accumulate in response to diverse cellular stresses. However, their regulation and physiological roles remain poorly understood in most contexts. Here, we show that in budding yeast, chronic hyperosmotic stress induces sustained LD accumulation. Unlike the transient LD response observed during acute osmotic shock, chronic stress triggers prolonged, Dga1-dependent triacylglycerol synthesis. In the absence of triacylglycerol synthesis, cellular fitness is impaired. Lipidomic profiling reveals extensive membrane remodeling during chronic hyperosmotic stress, most notably an increase in phosphatidylcholine (PC) resulting in changes to membrane properties. In LD-deficient cells, the hyperosmotic stress-induced PC increase is blunted, while enhancing PC synthesis improves the fitness of triacylglycerol-deficient cells. Thus, LD accumulation and phospholipid remodeling underlie an adaptive response to chronic hyperosmotic stress.
