Single-Cell Approaches for Studying the Role of Mitochondrial DNA in Neurodegenerative Disease.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
In light of accumulating evidence suggestive of cell type-specific vulnerabilities as a result of normal aging processes that adversely affect the brain, as well as age-related neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD), the current chapter highlights how we study mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) changes at a single-cell level. In particular, we comment on increasing questioning of the narrow neurocentric view of such pathologies, where microglia and astrocytes have traditionally been considered bystanders rather than players in related pathological processes. Here we review the contribution made by single-cell mtDNA alterations towards neuronal vulnerability seen in neurodegenerative disorders, focusing on PD as a prominent example. In addition, we give an overview of methodologies that support such experimental investigations. In considering the significant advances that have been made in recent times for developing mitochondria-specific therapies, investigations to account for cell type-specific mitochondrial patterns and how these are altered by disease hold promise for delivering more effective disease-modifying therapeutics.
