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

New steps in the reaction cycle that drives protein translocation into the mitochondrial matrix have been defined. The membrane potential (delta psi)- and the mtHsp70/MIM44-dependent import machinery cooperate in the transfer of the presequence across the inner membrane. Translocation intermediates, arrested at a stage where only the presequence could form a complex with mtHsp70, still required delta psi for further import. Delta psi at this stage prevented retrograde movement, since mtHsp70 did not bind to the presequence with sufficient affinity. In contrast, mature regions of incoming chains adjacent to the presequence were bound by mtHsp70 tightly enough to stabilize them in the matrix. Cycling of the mtHsp70 on and off incoming chains is a continuous process in the presence of matrix ATP. Both MIM44-bound and free forms of mtHsp70 were found in association with the incoming chains. These data are consistent with a reaction pathway in which the mtHsp70/MIM44 complex acts as a molecular ratchet on the cis side of the inner membrane to drive protein translocation into the matrix.
