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

Phospholipase D6 (PLD6) plays pivotal roles in mitochondrial dynamics and spermatogenesis, but the cellular and subcellular localization of endogenous PLD6 in testis germ cells is poorly defined. We examined the distribution and subcellular localization of PLD6 in mouse testes using validated specific anti-PLD6 antibodies. Ectopically expressed PLD6 protein was detected in the mitochondria of PLD6-transfected cells, but endogenous PLD6 expression in mouse testes was localized to the perinuclear region of pachytene spermatocytes, and more prominently, to the round (Golgi and cap phases) and elongating spermatids (acrosomal phase); these results suggest that PLD6 is localized to the Golgi apparatus. The distribution of PLD6 in the round spermatids partially overlapped with that of the cis-Golgi marker GM130, indicating that the PLD6 expression corresponded to the GM130-positive subdomains of the Golgi apparatus. Correlative light and electron microscopy revealed that PLD6 expression in developing spermatids was localized almost exclusively to several flattened cisternae, and these structures might correspond to the medial Golgi subcompartment; neither the trans-Golgi networks nor the developing acrosomal system expressed PLD6. Further, we observed that PLD6 interacted with tesmin, a testis-specific transcript necessary for successful spermatogenesis in mouse testes. To our knowledge, these results provide the first evidence of PLD6 as a Golgi-localized protein of pachytene spermatocytes and developing spermatids and suggest that its subcompartment-specific distribution within the Golgi apparatus may be related to the specific functions of this organelle during spermatogenesis.
