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 uncoupling proteins UCP2 and UCP3 have been postulated to catalyze Ca(2+) entry across the inner membrane of mitochondria, but this proposal is disputed, and other, unrelated proteins have since been identified as the mitochondrial Ca(2+) uniporter. To clarify the role of UCPs in mitochondrial Ca(2+) handling, we down-regulated the expression of the only uncoupling protein of HeLa cells, UCP3, and measured Ca(2+) and ATP levels in the cytosol and in organelles with genetically encoded probes. UCP3 silencing did not alter mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake in permeabilized cells. In intact cells, however, UCP3 depletion increased mitochondrial ATP production and strongly reduced the cytosolic and mitochondrial Ca(2+) elevations evoked by histamine. The reduced Ca(2+) elevations were due to inhibition of store-operated Ca(2+) entry and reduced depletion of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) stores. UCP3 depletion accelerated the ER Ca(2+) refilling kinetics, indicating that the activity of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) (SERCA) pumps was increased. Accordingly, SERCA inhibitors reversed the effects of UCP3 depletion on cytosolic, ER, and mitochondrial Ca(2+) responses. Our results indicate that UCP3 is not a mitochondrial Ca(2+) uniporter and that it instead negatively modulates the activity of SERCA by limiting mitochondrial ATP production. The effects of UCP3 on mitochondrial Ca(2+) thus reflect metabolic alterations that impact on cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis. The sensitivity of SERCA to mitochondrial ATP production suggests that mitochondria control the local ATP availability at ER Ca(2+) uptake and release sites.
