In vivo and in vitro determination of cell death markers in neurons.

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 are key regulators of cellular death. The mitochondrial membranes contain essential enzyme complexes for maintaining metabolic homeostasis and meeting the energy requirements of the cell (Tait and Green, Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol 11:621-632, 2010 and Galluzzi et al., Apoptosis 12:803-813, 2007). Thus, any perturbation of outer or inner mitochondrial membranes can lead to disruptions in the normal fluxes of key ions and metabolic proteins (i.e., ADP/ATP exchange), leading to eventual cellular death. In addition to maintaining cellular viability, mitochondria play a critical role in the initiation of programmed cell death. As initiators of the cell death process, key mitochondrial proteins [Cytochrome C (Cyt C) one of the most well-studied among them] are released from the intermembrane space during early cell death events eventually leading to caspase activation. Release of Cyt C is a crucial step during cellular death (Tait and Green, Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol 11:621-632, 2010). Therefore, the measurement of Cyt C release can give vital information about cell death signaling. Immunolabeling against Cyt C can give an easy readout of mitochondrial integrity as well, allowing for simultaneous identification of mitochondrial viability (and/or damage) and initiation of intracellular death processes. In this chapter, we use Cyt C as a dual marker of mitochondrial integrity and cell death and review several protocols to measure Cyt C localization into intact mitochondria and its release into the cytosol. The goal is to offer an array of assays that, combined, provide both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the relationship between mitochondrial viability and activation of an intracellular cell death process. Immunofluorescence, Western blot, and ELISA measurements of Cyt C as are discussed in detail.
