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

Intracellular transport among organellar compartments occurs in two general ways: by membrane-bound carriers and membrane contacts. Specific circumstances that involve the coordination of these two modes of transport remain to be defined. By studying coat protein I (COPI) transport, we find that phosphatidylcholine with short acyl chains (sPC) is delivered through membrane contact from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to sites of COPI vesicle formation at the Golgi to support the fission stage. Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein beta (PITPβ) plays a key role in this process, with the elucidation of this role shedding new insights into how PITPβ acts, providing a mechanistic understanding of a specific circumstance when vesicular transport requires membrane contact and contributing to the general understanding of how intracellular transport carriers are formed.
