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

Mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilisation (MOMP) is often essential for apoptosis, by enabling cytochrome c release that leads to caspase activation and rapid cell death. Recently, MOMP has been shown to be inherently pro-inflammatory with emerging cellular roles, including its ability to elicit anti-tumour immunity. Nonetheless, how MOMP triggers inflammation and how the cell regulates this remains poorly defined. We find that upon MOMP, many proteins localised either to inner or outer mitochondrial membranes are ubiquitylated in a promiscuous manner. This extensive ubiquitylation serves to recruit the essential adaptor molecule NEMO, leading to the activation of pro-inflammatory NF-κB signalling. We show that disruption of mitochondrial outer membrane integrity through different means leads to the engagement of a similar pro-inflammatory signalling platform. Therefore, mitochondrial integrity directly controls inflammation, such that permeabilised mitochondria initiate NF-κB signalling.
