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 transplantation is an emerging strategy for cellular repair, yet its efficiency is often limited by poor targeting and environmental instability. This protocol details the fabrication and comprehensive characterization of neutrophil membrane-fused mitochondria (nMITO), a hybrid organelle platform designed to combine the metabolic vigor of natural mitochondria with the targeting and anti-inflammatory properties of neutrophil membranes. We describe an optimized workflow for mouse heart mitochondrial isolation, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated neutrophil membrane (NEM) extraction, and the subsequent sonication-mediated fusion process. Characterization techniques include dynamic light scattering (DLS) for size and zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for ultrastructural integrity, and bioenergetic assays [ATP synthesis and tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester (TMRM)-based membrane potential] to ensure functional preservation. Key features • The protocol provides a methodology for the isolation of neutrophil membranes from mouse bone marrow and mitochondria from the heart. • The protocol provides a methodology for the fabrication of neutrophil membrane-fused mitochondria (nMITO).
