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 oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system is under control of both the mitochondrial and the nuclear genomes; 13 subunits are synthesized by the mitochondrial translation machinery. We report a patient with Cornelia de Lange-like dysmorphic features, brain abnormalities and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and studied the genetic defect responsible for the combined OXPHOS complex I, III and IV deficiency observed in fibroblasts. The combination of deficiencies suggested a primary defect associated with the synthesis of mitochondrially encoded OXPHOS subunits. Analysis of mitochondrial protein synthesis revealed a marked impairment in mitochondrial translation. Homozygosity mapping and sequence analysis of candidate genes revealed a homozygous mutation in MRPS22, a gene encoding a mitochondrial ribosomal small subunit protein. The mutation predicts a Leu215Pro substitution at an evolutionary conserved site. Mutations in genes implicated in Cornelia de Lange syndrome or copy number variations were not found. Transfection of patient fibroblasts, in which MRPS22 was undetectable, with the wild-type MRPS22 cDNA restored the amount and activity of OXPHOS complex IV, as well as the 12S rRNA transcript level to normal values. These findings demonstrate the pathogenicity of the MRPS22 mutation and stress the significance of mutations in nuclear genes, including genes that have no counterparts in lower species like bacteria and yeast, for mitochondrial translation defects.
