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

Variations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been fundamental for understanding human evolution and are causative for a plethora of inherited mitochondrial diseases, but the mutation signatures of germline mtDNA and their value in understanding mitochondrial pathogenicity remain unknown. Here, we carried out a systematic analysis of mutation patterns in germline mtDNA based on 97,566 mtDNA variants from 45,494 full-length sequences and revealed a highly non-stochastic and replication-coupled mutation signature characterized by nucleotide-specific mutation pressure (G > T>A > C) and position-specific selection pressure, suggesting the existence of an intensive mutation-selection interplay in germline mtDNA. We provide evidence that this mutation-selection interplay has strongly shaped the mtDNA sequence during evolution, which not only manifests as an oriented alteration of amino acid compositions of mitochondrial encoded proteins, but also explains the long-lasting mystery of CpG depletion in mitochondrial genome. Finally, we demonstrated that these insights may be integrated to better understand the pathogenicity of disease-implicated mitochondrial variants.
