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

Cell polarization and differentiation require increased energy mobilization and cell membrane synthesis, whereby mitochondria and lipid droplets (LDs) play key roles. However, how these metabolic organelles organize at the subcellular level to efficiently meet energy demands in human intestinal organoids is unclear. To address this, we introduce coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy multiplexed with confocal fluorescence microscopy to spatially map LDs and mitochondria throughout cell differentiation in human intestinal enteroids. The results show an overall decrease in LDs over time, though less pronounced for cells positive for proliferation or stemness markers. The LD depletion was observed in the apical region, resulting in a polarized distribution to the basal side. A similar mitochondrial polarization pattern was also observed in differentiated enteroids. Spectral CARS further shows that LDs postdifferentiation contain lipids with signatures of longer acyl chains and a higher degree of unsaturation. These observations demonstrate that polarized metabolic and lipid supply infrastructures are formed to support intestinal cell differentiation in organoid cultures.
