Investigation of Properties of the Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore Using Whole-Mitoplast Patch-Clamp Technique.
Article in DNA and cell biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) is a channel in the mitochondrial inner membrane that is activated by excessive calcium uptake. In this study, we used a whole-mitoplast patch-clamp approach to investigate the ionic currents associated with mPTP at the level of the whole single mitochondrion. The whole-mitoplast conductance was at the level of 5 to 7 nS, which is consistent with the presence of three to six single mPTP channels per mitochondrion. We found that mPTP currents are voltage dependent and inactivate at negative potential. The currents were inhibited by cyclosporine A and adenosine diphosphate. When mPTP was induced by oxidative stress, currents were partially blocked by the adenine nucleotide translocase inhibitor bongkrekic acid. Our data suggest that the whole-mitoplast patch-clamp approach is a useful method for investigating the biophysical properties and regulation of the mPTP.
