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

Cytochrome c oxidase is the terminal enzyme of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, without which oxidative metabolism cannot be carried to completion. It is one of only four unique, bigenomic proteins in mammalian cells. The holoenzyme is made up of three mitochondrial-encoded and ten nuclear-encoded subunits in a 1:1 stoichiometry. The ten nuclear subunit genes are located in nine different chromosomes. The coordinated regulation of such a multisubunit, multichromosomal, bigenomic enzyme poses a challenge. It is especially so for neurons, whose mitochondria are widely distributed in extensive dendritic and axonal processes, resulting in the separation of the mitochondrial from the nuclear genome by great distances. Neuronal activity dictates COX activity that reflects protein amount, which, in turn, is regulated at the transcriptional level. All 13 COX transcripts are up- and downregulated by neuronal activity. The ten nuclear COX transcripts and those for Tfam and Tfbms important for mitochondrial COX transcripts are transcribed in the same transcription factory. Bigenomic regulation of all 13 transcripts is mediated by nuclear respiratory factors 1 and 2 (NRF-1 and NRF-2). NRF-1, in addition, also regulates critical neurochemicals of glutamatergic synaptic transmission, thereby ensuring the tight coupling of energy metabolism and neuronal activity at the molecular level in neurons.
