Anaphylatoxin C5a receptor signaling induces mitochondrial fusion and sensitizes retinal pigment epithelial cells to oxidative stress.

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
Mitochondrial dynamics is a morphological balance between fragmented and elongated shapes, reflecting mitochondrial metabolic status, cellular damage, and mitochondrial dysfunction. The anaphylatoxin C5a derived from complement component 5 cleavage, enhances cellular responses involved in pathological stimulation, innate immune responses, and host defense. However, the specific response of C5a and its receptor, C5a receptor (C5aR), in mitochondria is unclear. Here, we tested whether the C5a/C5aR signaling axis affects mitochondrial morphology in human-derived retinal pigment epithelial cell monolayers (ARPE-19). C5aR activation with the C5a polypeptide induced mitochondrial elongation. In contrast, oxidatively stressed cells (H
