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

More than 60 years ago, Eugene Kennedy and coworkers elucidated the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-based pathways of glycerolipid synthesis, including the synthesis of phospholipids and triacylglycerols (TGs). The reactions of the Kennedy pathway were identified by studying the conversion of lipid intermediates and the isolation of biochemical enzymatic activities, but the molecular basis for most of these reactions was unknown. With recent progress in the cell biology, biochemistry, and structural biology in this area, we have a much more mechanistic understanding of this pathway and its reactions. In this review, we provide an overview of molecular aspects of glycerolipid synthesis, focusing on recent insights into the synthesis of TGs. Further, we go beyond the Kennedy pathway to describe the mechanisms for storage of TG in cytosolic lipid droplets and discuss how overwhelming these pathways leads to ER stress and cellular toxicity, as seen in diseases linked to lipid overload and obesity.
