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

Nuclear-encoded mitochondrial protein mRNAs have been found to be localized and locally translated within neuronal processes. However, the mechanism of transport for those mRNAs to distal locations is not fully understood. Here, we describe axonal co-transport of Cox7c with mitochondria. Fractionation analysis and single-molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization (smFISH) assay revealed that endogenous mRNA encoding Cox7c was preferentially associated with mitochondria in a mouse neuronal cell line and within mouse primary motor neuron axons, whereas other mRNAs that do not encode mitochondrial protein were much less associated. Live-cell imaging of MS2-tagged Cox7c mRNA further confirmed the preferential colocalization and co-transport of Cox7c mRNA with mitochondria in motor neuron axons. Intriguingly, the coding region, rather than the 3' untranslated region (UTR), was the key domain for the co-transport. Our results reveal that Cox7c mRNA can be transported with mitochondria along significant distances and that its coding region is a major recognition feature. This is consistent with the idea that mitochondria can play a vital role in spatial regulation of the axonal transcriptome at distant neuronal sites.
