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

Coenzyme A (CoA) is one of the central cofactors of metabolism, yet a method for measuring its concentration in living cells is missing. Here we introduce the first biosensor for measuring CoA levels in different organelles of mammalian cells. The semisynthetic biosensor is generated through the specific labeling of an engineered GFP-HaloTag fusion protein with a fluorescent ligand. Its readout is based on CoA-dependent changes in Förster resonance energy transfer efficiency between GFP and the fluorescent ligand. Using this biosensor, we probe the role of numerous proteins involved in CoA biosynthesis and transport in mammalian cells. On the basis of these studies, we propose a cellular map of CoA biosynthesis that suggests how pools of cytosolic and mitochondrial CoA are maintained.
