Mitochondria-Plasma Membrane Contact Sites: Emerging Regulators of Mitochondrial Form and Function.
Review in Contact (Thousand Oaks (Ventura County, Calif.)). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Sites of close apposition between organelles, known as membrane contact sites (MCSs), are critical regulators of organelle function. Mitochondria form elaborate reticular networks that perform essential metabolic and signaling functions. Many mitochondrial functions are regulated by MCSs formed between mitochondria and other organelles. In this review, we aim to bring attention to an understudied, but physiologically important, MCS between mitochondria and the plasma membrane (PM). We first describe the molecular mechanism of mitochondria-PM tethering in budding yeast and discuss its role in regulating multiple biological processes, including mitochondrial dynamics and lipid metabolism. Next, we discuss the evidence for mitochondria-PM tethering in higher eukaryotes, with a specific emphasis on mitochondria-PM contacts in retinal cells, and speculate on their functions. Finally, we discuss unanswered questions to guide future research into the function of mitochondria-PM contact sites.
