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) have a multitude of functions ranging from lipid storage to fighting infection and are decorated with a variety of proteins on their surface that determine their functions and behaviours. Mass spectrometric analysis has identified the vast array of LD-localised proteins, which have recently been shown to be dynamic, changing in response to cellular stress, infection, and altered homeostasis. Here, we review the key mechanisms of cytoplasmic protein interactions with the LD, highlighting conventional features like amphipathic helices, atypical sequence-based motifs, protein-protein interactions, and post-translational modifications that confer dynamic targeting of proteins to the surface of the LD. A better understanding of the transient LD proteome and the mechanisms that confer LD protein targeting will allow researchers to develop a more thorough understanding of LD biology, and the role of LDs in cellular homeostasis and disease.
