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

Mitochondrial damage determines cell fate, leading to mitochondrial autophagy or cellular apoptosis in health and disease. The molecular mechanisms and role of the acto-myosin cytoskeleton regulating mitochondrial clearance and membrane remodeling are critical in neurodegenerative disease progression including Alzheimer, but remain unclear. To investigate the potential link between full-length Myosin VI (FL-Myo6) recruitment and exposure of the mitochondria-specific lipid cardiolipin (CL), here we adapted a combination of molecular biology, biochemical, high-resolution fluorescence and interferometric light-scattering techniques. We developed analysis tools to reveal the structural Myo6-CL interaction sites, Myo6-oligomerization interfaces and mechanical properties. We found that CL activates backfolded FL-Myo6 and induces Myo6-oligomerization. Myo6 bound to CL cargo-vesicles in vitro mediates processive runs over >500 nm at >90 nm s
