The (social) lives, deaths, and biophysical phases of lipid droplets.
Review in Current opinion in cell biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Lipid droplets (LDs) are major lipid storage organelles, sequestering energy-rich triglycerides and serving as nutrient sinks for cellular homeostasis. Observed for over a century but generally ignored, LDs are now appreciated to play key roles in organismal physiology and disease. They also form numerous functional contacts with other organelles. Here, we highlight recent studies examining LDs from distinct perspectives of their life cycle: their biogenesis, "social" life as they interact with other organelles, and deaths via lipolysis or lipophagy. We also discuss recent work showing how changes in LD lipid content alter the biophysical phases of LD lipids, and how this may fine-tune the LD protein landscape and ultimately LD function.
