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

Disorders caused by defects in the mitochondrial translation system are clinically and genetically heterogeneous. The elongation phase of mitochondrial protein synthesis requires, among many other components, three nuclear-encoded elongation factors: EFTu (TUFM; 602389), EFTs (TSFM; 604723), and EFG1 (GFM1; 606639). Mutations have been identified in the genes encoding all three elongation factors, and they result in combined respiratory chain deficiencies and severe phenotypes with an early fatal outcome. So far, only eleven patients have been reported with mutations in GFM1. Here we describe an additional three patients with novel GFM1 mutations. Our results confirm the tissue-specific effect of GFM1 mutations, since we found only slightly decreased respiratory chain enzyme activities in muscle and fibroblasts, but a severe deficiency in the liver. Hence, a thorough biochemical evaluation is important to guide genetic investigation in patients suspected for a mitochondrial disorder.
