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

GTPBP3 is a highly conserved tRNA modifying enzyme for the biosynthesis of τm5U at the wobble position of mitochondrial tRNAGlu, tRNAGln, tRNALys, tRNATrp and tRNALeu(UUR). The previous investigations showed that GTPBP3 mutations were associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, the pathophysiology of GTPBP3 deficiency remains elusively. Using the gtpbp3 knockout zebrafish generated by CRISPR/Cas9 system, we demonstrated the aberrant mitochondrial tRNA metabolism in gtpbp3 knock-out zebrafish. The deletion of gtpbp3 may alter functional folding of tRNA, indicated by conformation changes and sensitivity to S1-mediated digestion of tRNAGlu, tRNALys, tRNATrp and tRNALeu(UUR). Strikingly, gtpbp3 knock-out zebrafish displayed the global increases in the aminoacylated efficiencies of mitochondrial tRNAs. The aberrant mitochondrial tRNA metabolisms impaired mitochondrial translation, produced proteostasis stress and altered activities of respiratory chain complexes. These mitochondria dysfunctions caused the alterations in the embryonic heart development and reduced fractional shortening of ventricles in mutant zebrafish. Notably, the gtpbp3 knock-out zebrafish exhibited hypertrophy of cardiomyocytes and myocardial fiber disarray in ventricles. These cardiac defects in the gtpbp3 knock-out zebrafish recapitulated the clinical phenotypes in HCM patients carrying the GTPBP3 mutation(s). Our findings highlight the fundamental role of defective nucleotide modifications of tRNAs in mitochondrial biogenesis and their pathological consequences in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
