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

Nuclear-encoded Cbp1 stabilizes and promotes translation of mitochondrial cytochrome b (COB) mRNA. A CCG triplet within the 5'UTR of COB mRNA is essential for Cbp1-dependent stability. Like cbp1 mutations, mutation of any nucleotide in CCG results in degradation of COB transcripts. In this study, CBP1-linked pseudorevertants of the temperature-sensitive CCU strain were isolated. The suppressors are missense mutations within a central cluster or a carboxyl cluster in the linear sequence of Cbp1. Strains with mutations in the carboxyl half of the central cluster or the carboxyl cluster respire better than those with mutations in the amino half of the central cluster. COB mRNA levels in the suppressor strains were increased compared with that in the CCU strain and were positively correlated with respiratory capability. This correlation supports a model in which the primary role of Cbp1 is to protect COB mRNAs and deliver them to the mitochondrial translational apparatus.
