Mitochondrial fusion: bax to the fussure.
Article in Developmental cell, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Mitochondria can be organized into highly interconnected networks through continuous cycles of fission and fusion. A recent study by Hoppins et al. (2011) published in Molecular Cell now suggests that Bax, more commonly known for its role in apoptosis, can promote mitochondrial fusion in a Mitofusin 2-dependent manner.
