1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We propose a novel quantitative method to explore the forces affecting mitochondria within living cells in an almost non-invasive fashion. This new tool enables the detection of localized mechanical impulses on these organelles that occur amidst the stationary fluctuations caused by the thermal jittering in the cytoplasm. Recent experimental evidence shows that the action of mechanical forces has important effects on the dynamics, morphology and distribution of mitochondria in cells. In particular, their crosstalk with the cytoskeleton has been found to alter these organelles function; however, the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are largely unknown. Our results highlight the different functions that cytoskeletal networks play in shaping mitochondrial dynamics. This work presents a novel technique to extend our knowledge of how the impact of mechanical cues can be quantified at the single organelle level. Moreover, this approach can be expanded to the study of other organelles or biopolymers.
