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 interactions between mitochondria and the cytoskeleton have been found to alter mitochondrial function; however, the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are largely unknown. Here, we explored how the integrity of the cytoskeleton affects the cellular organization, morphology and mobility of mitochondria in Xenopus laevis melanocytes. Cells were imaged in control condition and after different treatments that selectively affect specific cytoskeletal networks (microtubules, F-actin and vimentin filaments). We observed that mitochondria cellular distribution and local orientation rely mostly on microtubules, positioning these filaments as the main scaffolding of mitochondrial organization. We also found that cytoskeletal networks mold mitochondria shapes in distinct ways: while microtubules favor more elongated organelles, vimentin and actin filaments increase mitochondrial bending, suggesting the presence of mechanical interactions between these filaments and mitochondria. Finally, we identified that microtubule and F-actin networks play opposite roles in mitochondria shape fluctuations and mobility, with microtubules transmitting their jittering to the organelles and F-actin restricting the organelles motion. All our results support that cytoskeleton filaments interact mechanically with mitochondria and transmit forces to these organelles molding their movements and shapes.
