SOD2 in mitochondrial dysfunction and neurodegeneration.
Review in Free radical biology & medicine, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 216 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 brain is a highly metabolically active tissue that critically relies on oxidative phosphorylation as a means for maintaining energy. One result of this process is the production of potentially damaging radicals such as the superoxide anion (O2(-)). Superoxide has the capacity to damage components of the electron transport chain and other cellular constituents. Eukaryotic systems have evolved defenses against such damaging moieties, the chief member of which is superoxide dismutase (SOD2), an enzyme that efficiently converts superoxide to the less reactive hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which can freely diffuse across the mitochondrial membrane. Loss of SOD2 activity can result in numerous pathological phenotypes in metabolically active tissues, particularly within the central nervous system. We review SOD2's potential involvement in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as stroke and Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases, as well as its potential role in "normal" age-related cognitive decline. We also examine in vivo models of endogenous oxidative damage based upon the loss of SOD2 and associated neurological phenotypes in relation to human neurodegenerative disorders.
