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 voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is the most abundant protein in the outer mitochondrial membrane and constitutes the primary pathway for the exchange of ions and metabolites between the cytosol and the mitochondria. There is accumulating evidence supporting VDAC's role in mitochondrial metabolic regulation and apoptosis, where VDAC oligomerization has been implicated with these processes. Herein, we report a specific pH-dependent dimerization of murine VDAC1 (mVDAC1) identified by double electron-electron resonance and native mass spectrometry. Intermolecular distances on four singly spin-labeled mVDAC1 mutants were used to generate a model of the low-pH dimer, establishing the presence of residue E73 at the interface. This dimer arrangement is different from any oligomeric state previously described, and it forms as a steep function of pH with an apparent pK
