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

Iron-sulfur (FeS) protein biogenesis in eukaryotes begins with the de novo assembly of [2Fe-2S] clusters by the mitochondrial core iron-sulfur cluster assembly (ISC) complex. This complex comprises the scaffold protein ISCU2, the cysteine desulfurase subcomplex NFS1-ISD11-ACP1, the allosteric activator frataxin (FXN) and the electron donor ferredoxin-2 (FDX2). The structural interaction of FDX2 with the complex remains unclear. Here, we present cryo-EM structures of the human FDX2-bound core ISC complex showing that FDX2 and FXN compete for overlapping binding sites. FDX2 binds in either a 'distal' conformation, where its helix F interacts electrostatically with an arginine patch of NFS1, or a 'proximal' conformation, where this interaction tightens and the FDX2-specific C terminus binds to NFS1, facilitating the movement of the [2Fe-2S] cluster of FDX2 closer to the ISCU2 FeS cluster assembly site for rapid electron transfer. Structure-based mutational studies verify the contact areas of FDX2 within the core ISC complex.
