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

We present the cDNA sequence of the human mitochondrial acyl carrier protein NDUFAB1, a nuclear-encoded subunit of complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. We obtained the NDUFAB1 cDNA using the cDNA sequence of the bovine mitochondrial acyl carrier protein. The human cDNA contains two putative translation initiation codons. The human NDUFAB1 protein contains a phosphopantetheine attachment site (DLGLDSLDQVEIIMAM), unique for acyl carrier proteins, and an EF-hand calcium binding domain (DIDAEKLMCPQEI). Transcripts of this gene are found in a wide range of human tissues. The highests expression levels were observed, in descending order, in adult heart, skeletal muscle and fetal heart. We subjected NDUFAB1 fibroblast cDNA of 20 patients with an isolated enzymatic complex I deficiency to mutational detection. No mutations in the NDUFAB1 open reading frame were observed. Future studies will answer whether mutations in the NDUFAB1 promoter or transcription elements are responsible for the observed complex I deficiency.
