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

The actin-based motor myosin-19 (Myo19) exerts force on mitochondrial membrane receptors Miro1/2, influencing endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria contact sites and mitochondrial cristae structure. The mitochondrial intermembrane bridging (MIB) complex connects the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes at the cristae junction through the mitochondrial contact site and cristae organization system (MICOS). However, the interaction between Myo19, Miro1 and Miro2 (hereafter Miro1/2), and the MIB-MICOS complex in cristae regulation remains unclear. This study investigates the roles of Miro1/2 and metaxin 3 (Mtx3), a MIB complex component, in linking Myo19 to MIB-MICOS. We show that Miro1/2 interact with Myo19 and the MIB complex but not with Mtx3. Their mitochondrial membrane anchors are not essential for MIB interaction or cristae structure. However, Mtx3 is crucial for the connection between MIB-MICOS and the Myo19 and Miro1/2 proteins. Deleting Miro1/2 mimics the effects of Myo19 deficiency on ER-mitochondria contacts and cristae structure, whereas Mtx3 deletion does not. Notably, the loss of Myo19 and Miro1/2 alters mitochondrial lipid composition, reducing cardiolipin and its precursors, suggesting Myo19 and Miro1/2 influence cristae indirectly via lipid transfer at ER-mitochondria contact sites.
