Methods for Monitoring Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Turnover in Cultured Hepatocytes and Mouse Liver Using MitoTimer Reporter Assay.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Mitochondrial biogenesis and turnover rate are critical to maintain homeostasis of the intracellular mitochondrial pool. Altered mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy are closely related to many chronic diseases, highlighting the importance of mitochondrial stasis in various pathological conditions including liver diseases. We describe a detailed protocol for monitoring mitochondrial lifecycle in primary cultured mouse hepatocytes and mouse liver using the dual color fluorescence-based imaging of MitoTimer. Three types of mitochondria were visualized in mouse hepatocytes: green-only mitochondria (newly synthesized mitochondria), red-only mitochondria (old/aging mitochondria), as well as the majority of yellow mitochondria (representing an intermediate stage of mitochondria). The ratio of red/green fluorescence in each cell will be used to track mitochondrial aging. Super-resolution microscopy analysis revealed that majority of mitochondria were spatially heterogeneous with proteins from simultaneous new synthesis, maturation, and turnover in hepatocytes. MitoTimer reporter assay can specifically target to mitochondria and be used to monitor mitochondrial biogenesis and maturation as well as turnover in vitro and in vivo.
