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 mitochondrion is a highly dynamic organelle, constantly undergoing fusion and fission, which are critical processes for the health of cells. Fusion of the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) is mediated by the mitofusins belonging to the dynamin superfamily of GTPases. Most eukaryotic organisms possess two cooperatively functioning mitofusins, but yeast has only one mitofusin (Fzo1). How Fzo1 solely catalyzes OMM fusion is unclear. Here, we present crystal structures of truncated Fzo1 (Fzo1
