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

Transmitochondrial cybrid technology is a key approach for elucidating the effects of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations in defined nuclear genetic backgrounds and for studying nuclear-mitochondrial interactions. However, its application is limited by the availability of suitable recipient cell lines and by technically demanding enucleation procedures. We report three advances in cybrid technology: (1) enucleation using mitomycin C, a widely used agent for generating feeder layers in stem cell culture, which does not depend on cell attachment and provides a gentler alternative to actinomycin D; (2) selection of cybrids using mitochondrial uncouplers, which can reduce background survival of non-cybrid cells; and (3) cryopreservation of enucleated donor cells in liquid nitrogen, preserving fusion competence and increasing experimental flexibility. Additionally, we validate newly developed mtDNA-free (ρ
