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

Mitochondria play an essential role in maintaining intraneuronal calcium homeostasis. Mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) is a determined major brain mitochondrial calcium entry pathway. Activated MCU-mediated mitochondrial calcium overloading has been linked with brain mitochondrial pathology in disease conditions. Cyclophilin D (CypD)-mediated mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) favors mitochondrial calcium efflux. The physiological function of CypD-mediated mPT has received increasing recognition. However, the regulatory role of CypD-mediated mPT in brain mitochondrial calcium dynamics in response to mitochondrial calcium accumulation via MCU has not been comprehensively studied. Here, by adopting purified brain mitochondria, we have determined an effect of CypD and CypD-mediated mPT against mitochondrial calcium overloading. In addition, blockade of CypD pharmaceutically or genetically blunts brain mitochondrial MCU's sensitivity to its inhibitor. Therefore, our findings suggest that CypD-mediated mPT is a mitochondrial compensatory response to MCU-mediated excess mitochondrial calcium accumulation. Moreover, CypD may potentially modulate MCU function in calcium-stressed mitochondria.
