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 from every tissue are quite similar in their capability to accumulate Ca²⁺ in a process that depends on the electrical potential across the inner membrane; it is catalyzed by a gated channel (named mitochondrial Ca²⁺ uniporter), the molecular identity of which has only recently been unraveled. The release of accumulated Ca²⁺ in mitochondria from different tissues is, on the contrary, quite variable, both in terms of speed and mechanism: a Na⁺-dependent efflux in excitable cells (catalyzed by NCLX) and a H⁺/Ca²⁺ exchanger in other cells. The efficacy of mitochondrial Ca²⁺ uptake in living cells is strictly dependent on the topological arrangement of the organelles with respect to the source of Ca²⁺ flowing into the cytoplasm, i.e., plasma membrane or intracellular channels. In turn, the structural and functional relationships between mitochondria and other cellular membranes are dictated by the specific architecture of different cells. Mitochondria not only modulate the amplitude and the kinetics of local and bulk cytoplasmic Ca²⁺ changes but also depend on the Ca²⁺ signal for their own functionality, in particular for their capacity to produce ATP. In this review, we summarize the processes involved in mitochondrial Ca²⁺ handling and its integration in cell physiology, highlighting the main common characteristics as well as key differences, in different tissues.
