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 architecture and the contacts between the mitochondrial outer and the inner membranes depend on the mitochondrial contact site and cristae-organizing system (MICOS) that is highly conserved from yeast to human. Variants in the mammalian MICOS subunit Mic14 (also known as CHCHD10) have been linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia, indicating the importance of this protein. Mic14 has a yeast ortholog, Mix17, a protein of unknown function, which has not been shown to interact with MICOS so far. As a first step to elucidate the function of Mix17 and its orthologs, we analyzed its interactions, biogenesis and mitochondrial sublocation. We report that Mix17 is not a stable MICOS subunit in yeast. Our data suggest that Mix17 is the first Mia40 substrate in the mitochondrial outer membrane. Unlike all other Mia40 substrates, Mix17 spans the mitochondrial outer membrane and exposes its N-terminus to the cytosol. The insertion of Mix17 into the mitochondrial outer membrane is likely to be mediated by its interaction with Tom40, the pore of the TOM complex. Moreover, we show that the exposure of Mix17 to the cytosolic side of the mitochondrial membrane depends on its N-terminus.
