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 mitochondrial rhomboid protease Parl governs apoptosis, morphology, metabolism and might be implicated in Parkinson's disease, but the structural basis of its activity and complex regulation remain unknown. We report the discovery of γ-cleavage, a proteolytic event on the loop connecting the first transmembrane helix (TMH) of Parl to the 6-TMH catalytic rhomboid domain of the protease. This cleavage disrupts the '1+6' structure that defines every mitochondrial rhomboid and generates a new form of Parl, PROD (Parl-rhomboid-domain). Structure-function analysis of Parl suggests that γ-cleavage could be implicated in eliminating Parl proteolytic activity, and structural modeling of PROD reveals structural conservation with the bacterial rhomboid GlpG. However, unlike bacterial rhomboids, which employ a diad-based mechanism of catalysis, Parl appears to use a conserved mitochondrial rhomboid-specific Asp residue on TMH-5 in a triad-based mechanism of catalysis. This work provides unexpected insights into the structural determinants regulating Parl stability and activity in vivo, and reveals a complex cascade of proteolytic events controlling the function of the protease in the mitochondrion.
