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

Voltage-dependant Anion Channels, also known as mitochondrial porins, are pore-forming proteins located in the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) that, in addition to forming complexes with other proteins that localize to the MOM, also function as the main conduit for transporting metabolites between the cytoplasm and mitochondria. VDACs are encoded by a multi-member gene family, and the number of isoforms and specific functions of VDACs varies between species. Translating the well-described in vitro characteristics of the VDAC isoforms into in vivo functions has been a challenge, with the generation of animal models of VDAC deficiency providing much of the available information about isoform-specific roles in biology. Here, we review the approaches used to create these insect and mammalian animal models, and the conclusions reached by studying the consequences of loss of function mutations on the genetic, physiologic, and biochemical properties of the resulting models. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: VDAC structure, function, and regulation of mitochondrial metabolism.
