Mitochondrial Phosphopantetheinylation is Required for Oxidative Function.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
4'-phosphopantetheinyl (4'PP) groups are essential co-factors added to target proteins by p hospho p antetheinyl transferase (PPTase) enzymes. Although mitochondrial 4'PP-modified proteins have been described for decades, a mitochondrially-localized PPTase has never been found in mammals. We discovered that the cytoplasmic PPTase a mino a dipate s emialdehyde d ehydrogenase p hospho p antetheinyl transferase (AASDHPPT) is required for mitochondrial respiration and oxidative metabolism. Loss of AASDHPPT results in failed 4'PP modification of the mitochondrial acyl carrier protein and blunted activity of the mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis (mtFAS) pathway. We found that in addition to its cytoplasmic localization, AASDHPPT localizes to the mitochondrial matrix via an N-terminal mitochondrial targeting sequence contained within the first 20 amino acids of the protein. Our data show that this novel mitochondrial localization of AASDHPPT is required to support mtFAS activity and oxidative function. We further identify five variants of uncertain significance in
