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

Eukaryotic cell organelles exert unique functions individually but also interact with each other for essential cellular functions. This physical interface between the organelles serves as an important platform for biomolecule trafficking and signaling. Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles and form a dynamic contact with other organelles. The interactions and communication between mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are facilitated by an ER specific domain, named mitochondria associated ER membrane (MAM). Due to its unique location, the MAM is a "hotspot" for important cell signaling and biochemical processes including calcium homeostasis, lipid synthesis/exchange, inflammasome and autophagosome formation, and mitochondria fission/fusion. Although techniques are available for isolation of organelle fractions including MAM, most utilize animal tissues and cell lines. Here we describe a protocol that is tailored to the isolation of highly purified MAM, mitochondria, ER, and cytosol from human brain. In addition, we include a protocol for the isolation of total RNA and subsequent analysis of microRNAs from these highly purified organelle fractions. Finally, we include a panel of protein markers that are useful for validating the enrichment and purity of each subcellular fraction.
