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 isolation of mitochondria is gaining importance in experimental and clinical laboratory settings. Of interest, mitochondria and mitochondrial components (i.e., circular mitochondrial DNA, N-formylated peptides, cardiolipin) have been involved in several human inflammatory pathologies, such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. While several mitochondrial isolation methods have been previously published, these techniques are aimed at yielding mitochondria from cell types other than platelets. In addition, little information is known on the number of platelet-derived microvesicles that can contaminate the mitochondrial preparation or even the overall quality as well as functional and structural integrity of mitochondria. Here we describe a purification method, using a discontinuous Percoll gradient, yielding mitochondria of high purity and integrity from human platelets.
