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 to nucleus signaling has been the most extensively studied mode of inter-organelle communication. The first signaling pathway in this category of information transfer to be discovered was the retrograde response, with its own set of signal transduction proteins. The finding that this pathway compensates for mitochondrial dysfunction to extend the replicative lifespan of yeast cells has generated additional impetus for its study. This research has demonstrated crosstalk between the retrograde response and the target of rapamycin (TOR), small GTPase RAS, and high-osmolarity glycerol (HOG) pathways in yeast, all of which are key players in replicative lifespan. More recently, the retrograde response has been implicated in the diauxic shift and survival in stationary phase, extending its operation to the yeast chronological lifespan as well. In this capacity, the retrograde response may cooperate with other, related mitochondria to nucleus signaling pathways. Counterparts of the retrograde response are found in the roundworm, the fruit fly, the mouse, and even in human cells in tissue culture. The exciting realization that the retrograde response is embedded in the network of cellular quality control processes has emerged over the past few years. Most strikingly, it is closely integrated with autophagy and the selective brand of this quality control process, mitophagy. This coordination depends on TOR, and it engages ceramide/sphingolipid signaling. The yeast LAG1 ceramide synthase gene was the first longevity gene cloned as such, and its orthologs hyl-1 and hyl-2 determine worm lifespan. Thus, the involvement of ceramide signaling in quality control gives these findings cellular context. The retrograde response and ceramide are essential components of a lifespan maintenance process that likely evolved as a cytoprotective mechanism to defend the organism from diverse stressors.
