Movement of mitochondria in the ovarian trophic cord of Dysdercus intermedius (Heteroptera) resembles nerve axonal transport.

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
The motile behaviour of mitochondria in the ovarian trophic cord of the red cotton bug, Dysdercus intermedius, was observed optically using video-enhanced differential interference contrast (AVEC-DIC) microscopy. The motion of 258 video-recorded mitochondria was analysed of which 10%-30% were found to move during the observation periods. Of the moving mitochondria 76% travelled towards the oocyte with an average velocity of 3.37 μm/ min, and 24% towards the tropharium with 2.84 μm/min. The movement was found to be basically of the saltatory type I as known from nerve axons characterized by the absence of directional reversal. In some cases short periods of interrupted motion of type II, i.e. with local oscillations, were observed. Individual mitochondria often showed velocity variations during the excursions. The hemipteran trophic cords are known to contain numerous parallel microtubules. As the observed type of mitochondrial motility resembles axonal transport, a modified transport hypothesis is presented for the microtubule-based motility of organelles in the nurse strands of telotrophic insect ovarioles.
