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

We analyzed ATP synthase dimers in mitochondria purified from four plant species by subtomogram averaging, using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a control. The purified mitochondria were plunge-frozen and broken mitochondria were examined by electron cryo-tomography. In each case, the ATP synthase dimers formed extensive rows along the tightly curved cristae ridges. ATP synthase dimer particles of each species were picked and averaged. Subtomogram averages of all four plant ATP synthases revealed an extra density at the tip of the peripheral stalk next to the OSCP hinge that is not seen in S. cerevisae. The dimer angle between the ATP synthase monomers is wider than in Polytomella, S. cerevisae or mammals, but less wide than in Caenorhabditis elegans. Slight variations in dimer angle indicate that ATP synthase dimers of plant mitochondria are more flexible than others.
