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

Mitochondria possess a sophisticated array of Ca(2+) transport systems reflecting their key role in physiological Ca(2+) homeostasis. With the exception of most yeast strains, energized organelles are endowed with a very fast and efficient mechanism for Ca(2+) uptake, the ruthenium red (RR)-sensitive mitochondrial Ca(2+) uniporter (MCU); and one main mechanism for Ca(2+) release, the RR-insensitive 3Na(+)-Ca(2+) antiporter. An additional mechanism for Ca(2+) release is provided by a Na(+) and RR-insensitive release mechanism, the putative 3H(+)-Ca(2+) antiporter. A potential kinetic imbalance is present, however, because the V(max) of the MCU is of the order of 1400nmol Ca(2+)mg(-1) proteinmin(-1) while the combined V(max) of the efflux pathways is about 20nmol Ca(2+)mg(-1) proteinmin(-1). This arrangement exposes mitochondria to the hazards of Ca(2+) overload when the rate of Ca(2+) uptake exceeds that of the combined efflux pathways, e.g. for sharp increases of cytosolic [Ca(2+)]. In this short review we discuss the hypothesis that transient opening of the Ca(2+)-dependent permeability transition pore may provide mitocondria with a fast Ca(2+) release channel preventing Ca(2+) overload. We also address the relevance of a mitochondrial Ca(2+) release channel recently discovered in Drosophila melanogaster, which possesses intermediate features between the permeability transition pore of yeast and mammals.
