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

The carnitine/acylcarnitine transporter is a transport system whose function is essential for the mitochondrial β-oxidation of fatty acids. Here, the presence of carnitine/acylcarnitine carrier (CACT) in nervous tissue and its sub-cellular localization in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons have been investigated. Western blot analysis using a polyclonal anti-CACT antibody produced in our laboratory revealed the presence of CACT in all the nervous tissue extracts analyzed. Confocal microscopy experiments performed on fixed and permeabilized DRG neurons co-stained with the anti-CACT antibody and the mitochondrial marker MitoTracker Red clearly showed a mitochondrial localization for the carnitine/acylcarnitine transporter. The transport activity of CACT from DRG extracts reconstituted into liposomes was about 50 % in respect to liver extracts. The experimental data here reported represent the first direct evidence of the expression of the carnitine/acylcarnitine transporter in sensory neurons, thus supporting the existence of the β-oxidation pathway in these cells.
