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 have cloned and disrupted in vivo, by repeat-induced point mutations, the nuclear gene coding for an iron sulfur subunit of complex I from Neurospora crassa, homologue of the mammalian TYKY protein. Analysis of the obtained mutant nuo21.3c revealed that complex I fails to assemble. The peripheral arm of the enzyme is disrupted while its membrane arm accumulates. Furthermore, mutated 21.3c-kD proteins, in which selected cysteine residues were substituted with alanines or serines, were expressed in mutant nuo21. 3c. The phenotypes of these strains regarding the formation of complex I are similar to that of the original mutant, indicating that binding of iron sulfur centers to protein subunits is a prerequisite for complex I assembly. Homozygous crosses of nuo21.3c strain, and of other complex I mutants, are unable to complete sexual development. The crosses are blocked at an early developmental stage, before fusion of the nuclei of opposite mating types. This phenotype can be rescued only by transformation with the intact gene. Our results suggest that this might be due to the compromised capacity of complex I-defective strains in energy production.
