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

Defects in the yeast cysteine desulfurase Nfs1 cause a severe impairment in the 2-thio modification of uridine of mitochondrial tRNAs (mt-tRNAs) and cytosolic tRNAs (cy-tRNAs). Nfs1 can also provide the sulfur atoms of the iron-sulfur (Fe/S) clusters generated by the mitochondrial and cytosolic Fe/S cluster assembly machineries, termed ISC and CIA, respectively. Therefore, a key question remains as to whether the biosynthesis of Fe/S clusters is a prerequisite for the 2-thio modification of the tRNAs in both of the subcellular compartments of yeast cells. To elucidate this question, we asked whether mitochondrial ISC and/or cytosolic CIA components besides Nfs1 were involved in the 2-thio modification of these tRNAs. We demonstrate here that the three CIA components, Cfd1, Nbp35, and Cia1, are required for the 2-thio modification of cy-tRNAs but not of mt-tRNAs. Interestingly, the mitochondrial scaffold proteins Isu1 and Isu2 are required for the 2-thio modification of the cy-tRNAs but not of the mt-tRNAs, while mitochondrial Nfs1 is required for both 2-thio modifications. These results clearly indicate that the 2-thio modification of cy-tRNAs is Fe/S protein dependent and thus requires both CIA and ISC machineries but that of mt-tRNAs is Fe/S cluster independent and does not require key mitochondrial ISC components except for Nfs1.
