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

Tafazzin is a mitochondrial enzyme that transfers fatty acids from phospholipids to lysophospholipids. Mutations in tafazzin cause abnormal molecular species of cardiolipin and the clinical phenotype of Barth syndrome. However, the mechanism by which tafazzin creates acyl specificity has been controversial. We have shown that the lipid phase state can produce acyl specificity in the tafazzin reaction, but others have reported that tafazzin itself carries enzymatic specificity. To resolve this issue, we replicated and expanded the controversial experiments,
