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 report here on the identification and characterization of novel 2-enoyl thioester reductases of fatty acid metabolism, Etr1p from Candida tropicalis and its homolog Ybr026p (Mrf1'p) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Overexpression of these proteins in S. cerevisiae led to the development of significantly enlarged mitochondria, whereas deletion of the S. cerevisiae YBR026c gene resulted in rudimentary mitochondria with decreased contents of cytochromes and a respiration-deficient phenotype. Immunolocalization and in vivo targeting experiments showed these proteins to be predominantly mitochondrial. Mitochondrial targeting was essential for complementation of the mutant phenotype, since targeting of the reductases to other subcellular locations failed to reestablish respiratory growth. The mutant phenotype was also complemented by a mitochondrially targeted FabI protein from Escherichia coli. FabI represents a nonhomologous 2-enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase that participates in the last step of the type II fatty acid synthesis. This indicated that 2-enoyl thioester reductase activity was critical for the mitochondrial function. We conclude that Etr1p and Ybr026p are novel 2-enoyl thioester reductases required for respiration and the maintenance of the mitochondrial compartment, putatively acting in mitochondrial synthesis of fatty acids.
