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

Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that adapt in response to environmental stresses or mutations. Dynamic processes involving mitochondria include their locomotion within cells and fusion and fission events in which mitochondrial join together or split apart. Various imaging strategies have been utilized to track mitochondrial dynamics. One common limitation of most of the methods available is that the time required to perform the technique and analyze the results prohibits application to clinical diagnosis and therapy. We recently demonstrated "whole-cell" mitochondrial analysis in a two-dimensional fashion with fluorescence microscopy. Our developed technique allows evaluation of whole-cell mitochondrial networking, including assessment of mitochondrial motility and rates of fission and fusion events using human blood cells (peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)) on a clinically relevant timescale. We demonstrate this methodology in a cohort of healthy subjects as well as a cohort of hospitalized subjects having sepsis, an acute care illness. As there is increasing use of human blood cells as a proxy of organ mitochondrial function with respiration in various disease states, the addition of mitochondrial dynamics will now allow for more thorough clinical evaluation of mitochondrial networking in human disease with potential exploration of therapeutics.
