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

Mitochondria are ancient endosymbiotic guests that joined the cells in the evolution of complex life. While the unique ability of mitochondria to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and their contribution to cellular nutrition metabolism received condign attention, our understanding of the organelle's contribution to Ca(2+) homeostasis was restricted to serve as passive Ca(2+) sinks that accumulate Ca(2+) along the organelle's negative membrane potential. This paradigm has changed radically. Nowadays, mitochondria are known to respond to environmental Ca(2+) and to contribute actively to the regulation of spatial and temporal patterns of intracellular Ca(2+) signaling. Accordingly, mitochondria contribute to many signal transduction pathways and are actively involved in the maintenance of capacitative Ca(2+) entry, the accomplishment of Ca(2+) refilling of the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca(2+)-dependent protein folding. Mitochondrial Ca(2+) homeostasis is complex and regulated by numerous, so far, genetically unidentified Ca(2+) channels, pumps and exchangers that concertedly accomplish the organelle's Ca(2+) demand. Notably, mitochondrial Ca(2+) homeostasis and functions are crucially influenced by the organelle's structural organization and motility that, in turn, is controlled by matrix/cytosolic Ca(2+). This review intends to provide a condensed overview on the molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial Ca(2+) homeostasis (uptake, buffering and storage, extrusion), its modulation by other ions, kinases and small molecules, and its contribution to cellular processes as fundamental basis for the organelle's contribution to signaling pathways. Hence, emphasis is given to the structure-to-function and mobility-to-function relationship of the mitochondria and, thereby, bridging our most recent knowledge on mitochondria with the best-established mitochondrial function: metabolism and ATP production.
