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

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria accumulate Ca(2+) within their lumens to regulate numerous cell functions. However, determining the dynamics of intraorganellar Ca(2+) has proven to be difficult. Here we describe a family of genetically encoded Ca(2+) indicators, named calcium-measuring organelle-entrapped protein indicators (CEPIA), which can be utilized for intraorganellar Ca(2+) imaging. CEPIA, which emit green, red or blue/green fluorescence, are engineered to bind Ca(2+) at intraorganellar Ca(2+) concentrations. They can be targeted to different organelles and may be used alongside other fluorescent molecular markers, expanding the range of cell functions that can be simultaneously analysed. The spatiotemporal resolution of CEPIA makes it possible to resolve Ca(2+) import into individual mitochondria while simultaneously measuring ER and cytosolic Ca(2+). We have used these imaging capabilities to reveal differential Ca(2+) handling in individual mitochondria. CEPIA imaging is a useful new tool to further the understanding of organellar functions.
