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

Mitofusin-2 (MFN2) is recognized as an important regulator of mitochondrial function. The activity of MFN2 is increased by deacetylation, but while MFN2 levels have been reported to be increased in major depressive disorder, the relationship between acetylation status of MFN2, mitochondrial energy production, and inflammation in depression-like disease in rodents has not been studied. Here, we induced a depression-like syndrome in mice with a 14-day-long chronic restraint stress (CRS) model, and the levels of acetylated MFN2 and SIRT1 activity were measured. The interaction of MFN2 with complex I was identified by immunoprecipitation, and the levels of mitochondrial metabolites were measured by GC-MS. MFN2 levels were unaltered by CRS, but SIRT1 expression and activity were reduced in the CRS-exposed mice, and levels of acetylated MFN2 were significantly increased. CRS affected mitochondrial energy metabolism by reducing the expression and activity of complexes I-V, decreasing levels of NAD
