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

The anionic phospholipid cardiolipin and its precursor phosphatidylglycerol are synthesized and localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane of eukaryotes. They are required for structural integrity and optimal activities of a large number of mitochondrial proteins and complexes. Previous studies showed that loss of anionic phospholipids leads to cell inviability in the absence of mitochondrial DNA. However, the mechanism linking loss of anionic phospholipids to petite lethality was unclear. To elucidate the mechanism, we constructed a crd1Deltarho degrees mutant, which is viable and mimics phenotypes of pgs1Delta in the petite background. We found that loss of cardiolipin in rho degrees cells leads to elevated expression of Swe1p, a morphogenesis checkpoint protein. Moreover, the retrograde pathway is activated in crd1Deltarho degrees cells, most likely due to the exacerbation of mitochondrial dysfunction. Interestingly, the expression of SWE1 is dependent on retrograde regulation as elevated expression of SWE1 is suppressed by deletion of RTG2 or RTG3. Taken together, these findings indicate that activation of the retrograde pathway leads to up-regulation of SWE1 in crd1Deltarho degrees cells. These results suggest that anionic phospholipids are required for processes that are essential for normal cell division in rho degrees cells.
