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

Iron-sulfur (Fe/S) cluster-containing proteins constitute one of the largest protein classes, with highly varied function. Consequently, the biosynthesis of Fe/S clusters is evolutionarily conserved and mutations in intermediate Fe/S cluster scaffold proteins can cause disease, including multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome (MMDS). Herein, we have characterized the impact of defects occurring in the MMDS1 disease state that result from a point mutation (p.Gly189Arg) near the active site of NFU1, an Fe/S scaffold protein. In vitro investigation into the structure-function relationship of the Gly189Arg derivative, along with two other variants, reveals that substitution at position 189 triggers structural changes that increase flexibility, decrease stability, and alter the monomer-dimer equilibrium toward monomer, thereby impairing the ability of the Gly189X derivatives to receive an Fe/S cluster from physiologically relevant sources.
