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

LONP1 is an ATP-dependent protease and chaperone that plays multiple vital roles in mitochondria. LONP1 is essential for mitochondrial homeostasis due to its role in maintenance of the mitochondrial genome and its central role in regulating mitochondrial processes such as oxidative phosphorylation, mitophagy, and heme biosynthesis. Bi-allelic LONP1 mutations have been reported to cause a constellation of clinical presentations. We report a patient heterozygous for a de novo mutation in LONP1: c.901C>T,p.R301W presenting as a neonate with seizures, encephalopathy, pachygyria and microcephaly. Assays of respiratory chain activity in muscle showed complex II-III function at 8% of control. Functional studies in patient fibroblasts showed a signature of dysfunction that included significant decreases in known proteolytic targets of LONP1 (TFAM, PINK1, phospho-PDH E1α) as well as loss of mitochondrial ribosome subunits MRPL44 and MRPL11 with concomitant decreased activity and level of protein subunits of oxidative phosphorylation complexes I and IV. These results indicate excessive LONP1 proteolytic activity and a loss of LONP1 chaperone activity. Further, we demonstrate that the LONP1 N-terminal domain is involved in hexamer stability of LONP1 and that the ability to make conformational changes is necessary for LONP1 to regulate proper functioning of both its proteolytic and chaperone activities.
