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

Stomatin, Prohibitin, Flotillin, and HflK/C (SPFH) family proteins are found in all kingdoms of life and in multiple eukaryotic organelles. SPFH proteins assemble into homo- or hetero-oligomeric rings that form domed structures. Most SPFH assemblies also abut a cellular membrane, where they are implicated in diverse functions ranging from membrane organization to protein quality control. However, the precise architectures of different SPFH complexes remain unclear. Here, we report single-particle cryo-EM structures of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident Erlin1/2 complex and the mitochondrial prohibitin (PHB1/2) complex, revealing assemblies of 13 heterodimers of Erlin1 and Erlin2 and 11 heterodimers of PHB1 and PHB2, respectively. We also describe key interactions underlying the architecture of each complex and conformational heterogeneity of the PHB1/2 complex. Our findings elucidate the distinct stoichiometries and properties of human organellar SPFH complexes and highlight common principles of SPFH complex organization.
