Imaging Mitochondrial Functions: from Fluorescent Dyes to Genetically-Encoded Sensors.
Review in Genes, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 multifunctional organelles that are crucial to cell homeostasis. They constitute the major site of energy production for the cell, they are key players in signalling pathways using secondary messengers such as calcium, and they are involved in cell death and redox balance paradigms. Mitochondria quickly adapt their dynamics and biogenesis rates to meet the varying energy demands of the cells, both in normal and in pathological conditions. Therefore, understanding simultaneous changes in mitochondrial functions is crucial in developing mitochondria-based therapy options for complex pathological conditions such as cancer, neurological disorders, and metabolic syndromes. To this end, fluorescence microscopy coupled to live imaging represents a promising strategy to track these changes in real time. In this review, we will first describe the commonly available tools to follow three key mitochondrial functions using fluorescence microscopy: Calcium signalling, mitochondrial dynamics, and mitophagy. Then, we will focus on how the development of genetically-encoded fluorescent sensors became a milestone for the understanding of these mitochondrial functions. In particular, we will show how these tools allowed researchers to address several biochemical activities in living cells, and with high spatiotemporal resolution. With the ultimate goal of tracking multiple mitochondrial functions simultaneously, we will conclude by presenting future perspectives for the development of novel genetically-encoded fluorescent biosensors.
