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

Cells require energy in the form of ATP to function. The two main ways in which cells generate energy in mammalian cells is through glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol and involves the breakdown of glucose molecules, generating ATP and pyruvate, while OXPHOS takes place in the mitochondria and is responsible for producing the majority of ATP for the cell. A dysregulation of these cellular processes has been reported in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). In order to understand the mechanisms of the disease, it is imperative to understand how the bioenergetic pathways are altered in ME/CFS. Here we describe a method for measuring mitochondrial function and glycolytic function using the Agilent Seahorse Extracellular Flux Analyzer. We have optimized these assays for use in actively proliferating lymphoblastoid cell lines that are generated from blood cells. This assay measures oxygen consumption rate and extracellular acidification rates providing an overview of mitochondrial function and efficiency and glycolytic rate and capacity, respectively. These assays are performed on live, intact cells, and enable us to view different components and measurements of energy metabolism through the injection of different compounds that stimulate or inhibit various sections of these pathways. The below method details an optimized glycolysis and mitochondrial assay for 96-well plates with modifications noted for use in 24-well plates.
