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

Mitochondrial Lon is a multi-function matrix protease with chaperone activity. However, little literature has been undertaken into detailed investigations on how Lon regulates apoptosis through its chaperone activity. Accumulating evidences indicate that various stresses induce transportation of p53 to mitochondria and activate apoptosis in a transcription-independent manner. Here we found that increased Lon interacts with p53 in mitochondrial matrix and restrains the apoptosis induced by p53 under oxidative stress by rescuing the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) and the release of cytochrome C and SMAC/Diablo. Increased chaperone Lon hampers the transcription-dependent apoptotic function of p53 by reducing the mRNA expression of p53 target genes. The ATPase mutant (K529R) of chaperone Lon decreases the interaction with p53 and fails to inhibit apoptosis. Furthermore, the chaperone activity of Lon is important for mitochondrial p53 accumulation in an mtHsp70-dependent manner, which is also important to prevent the cytosolic distribution of p53 from proteasome-dependent degradation. These results indicate that the chaperone activity of Lon is important to bind with mitochondrial p53 by which increased Lon suppresses the apoptotic function of p53 under oxidative stress. Furthermore, mitochondrial Lon-mtHsp70 increases the stability/level of p53 through trafficking and retaining p53 in mitochondrial matrix and preventing the pool of cytosolic p53 from proteasome-dependent degradation in vitro and in clinic.
