Live-Imaging Detection of Multivesicular Body-Plasma Membrane Fusion and Exosome Release in Cultured Primary Neurons.
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 4 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
Exosomes represent a class of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from the endocytic pathway that is important for cell-cell communication and implicated in the spread of pathogenic protein aggregates associated with neurological diseases. Exosomes are released extracellularly when multivesicular bodies (also known as late endosomes) fuse with the plasma membrane (PM). An important breakthrough in exosome research is the ability to capture MVB-PM fusion and exosome release simultaneously in individual cells using live-imaging microscopy techniques. Specifically, researchers have created a construct fusing CD63, a tetraspanin enriched in exosomes, with the pH-sensitive reporter pHluorin whereby CD63-pHluorin fluorescence is quenched in the acidic MVB lumen and only fluoresces when released into the less acidic extracellular environment. Here, we describe a method using this CD63-pHluorin construct to visualize MVB-PM fusion/exosome secretion in primary neurons using total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy.
