Optogenetic manipulation of lysosomal physiology and autophagic activity.
Article in Autophagy, 2024. 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
Lysosomes are essential degradative organelles and signaling hubs within cells, playing a crucial role in the regulation of macroautophagy/autophagy. Dysfunction of lysosomes and impaired autophagy are closely associated with the development of various neurodegenerative diseases. Enhancing lysosomal activity and boosting autophagy levels holds great promise as effective strategies for treating these diseases. However, there remains a lack of methods to dynamically regulate lysosomal activity and autophagy levels in living cells or animals. In our recent work, we applied optogenetics to manipulate lysosomal physiology and function, developing three lysosome-targeted optogenetic tools: lyso-NpHR3.0, lyso-ArchT, and lyso-ChR2. These new actuators enable light-dependent regulation of key aspects such as lysosomal membrane potential, lumenal pH, hydrolase activity, degradation processes, and Ca
