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

Mitochondrial membrane environmental dynamics are crucial for understanding function, yet high-resolution observation remains challenging. Here, HBimmCue is introduced as a fluorescent probe localized to inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) that reports lipid polarity and membrane order changes, which correlate with cellular respiration levels. Using HBimmCue and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), IMM lipid heterogeneity is uncovered across scales, from nanoscale structures within individual mitochondria to mouse pre-implantation embryos. At the sub-organelle level, stimulated emission depletion (STED)-FLIM imaging highlights nanoscale polarity variations within the IMM. At the sub-cellular and cellular level, reduced IMM lipid polarity is observed in damaged mitochondria marked for lysosomal degradation and distinct IMM lipid distributions are identified in neurons and disease models. Additionally, metabolic dysfunction associated with oocytes aging and metabolic reprogramming from zygote to blastocyst is detected. Together, the work demonstrates the broad applicability of HBimmCue, offering a new paradigm for investigating lipid polarity and respiration level at multiple scales.
