Mitochondrial activity tunes nociceptor resilience to excitotoxicity.
Article in Cell, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The capsaicin receptor, TRPV1, mediates the detection of noxious chemical and thermal stimuli by nociceptors, primary sensory neurons of the pain pathway. Overactivation of TRPV1 leads to cellular damage or death through calcium entry and excitotoxicity. We have exploited this phenomenon to conduct a systematic analysis of excitotoxicity through a genome-wide CRISPRi screen, thereby revealing a comprehensive network of regulatory pathways. We show that decreased expression of mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) components protects against capsaicin-induced toxicity and other challenges by mitigating both calcium imbalance and the generation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species via distinct pathways. Moreover, we confirm the regulatory roles of the ETC in sensory neurons through gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments. Interestingly, TRPV1
