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

Hardly anything is known about translational control of plant mitochondrial gene expression. Here, we provide evidence for differential translation of mitochondrial transcripts in Arabidopsis thaliana. We found that silencing of the nuclear RPS10 gene encoding mitochondrial ribosomal protein S10 disturbs the ratio between the small and large subunits of mitoribosomes, with an excess of the latter. Moreover, a portion of the small subunits are incomplete, lacking at least the S10 protein. rps10 cells also have an increased mitochondrial DNA copy number per cell, causing an upregulation of all mitochondrial transcripts. Mitochondrial translation is also altered so that it largely overrides the hyperaccumulation of transcripts, and as a consequence, only ribosomal proteins are oversynthesized, whereas oxidative phosphorylation subunits are downregulated. Expression of nuclear-encoded components of mitoribosomes and oxidative phosphorylation system (OXPHOS) complexes seems to be less affected. The ultimate coordination of expression of the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes occurs at the complex assembly level. These findings indicate that mitoribosomes can regulate gene expression by varying the efficiency of translation of mRNAs for OXPHOS and ribosomal proteins.
