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

Saturated fatty acid (SFA) and unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) have distinct impacts on health. Whether SFA and UFA are differentially transported in liver remains elusive. Here, we find the secretion of UFA but not SFA esters is retarded in a male mouse hepatic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress model. Among 13 members of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family, only PDIA1 (PDI) deficiency leads to hepatosteatosis and hypolipidemia. In PDI-deficient male mouse liver, there is a severe accumulation but secretory blockade of UFA esters, whereas the accumulation and secretion of SFA esters remain normal. PDI catalyzes the oxidative folding of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP). In addition, PDI deficiency in hepatocytes abolishes Apolipoprotein B-100 (ApoB-100) very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) secretion while maintaining partial ApoB-48 VLDL secretion. In summary, we find that the secretion of UFA esters is PDI-MTP indispensable, while SFA esters could be transferred out of liver via ApoB-48 VLDL through a PDI-MTP-independent pathway.
