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

Organelles play essential roles in cellular homeostasis and various cellular functions in eukaryotic cells. The current experimental strategy to modulate organelle functions is limited due to the dynamic nature and subcellular distribution of organelles in live cells. Optogenetics utilizes photoactivatable proteins to enable dynamic control of molecular activities through visible light. This modality has been rapidly expanded for the dynamic regulation of organelle functions. This chapter describes a method by optical modulation of the mitochondria-lysosome contacts (MLCs). Detailed procedures of transfection, optogenetic MLCs, mitochondrial morphology, and functional analysis are described. Optogenetic control of organelles in live cells offers an innovative paradigm for cell engineering and synthetic biology.
