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

Huntington disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder manifesting as progressive impairment of motor function and different neuropsychiatric symptoms caused by an expansion of CAG repeats in huntingtin gene (HTT). Mitochondrial dysfunction and bioenergetic defects can contribute to the course of the disease, however, the molecular mechanism underlying this process is still largely unknown. In this study, we aimed to determine several mitochondrial parameters in HD fibroblasts and assess their relevance to the disease progression as well as to value mitochondrial pathology in peripheral cells as disease potential biomarker. We showed that HD fibroblasts demonstrate significantly lower growth rate compared to control fibroblasts despite the lack of cell cycle perturbations. In order to investigate mitochondrial contribution to cell growth differences between HD and healthy cells, we provided insight into various mitochondrial parameters. Conducted experiments have revealed a significant reduction of the ATP level in HD fibroblasts accompanied by a decrease in mitochondrial metabolic activity in relation to the cells from healthy donors. Importantly, there were no differences in the mitochondrial membrane potential (mtΔΨ) and OXPHOS complexes' levels. Slightly increased level of mitochondrial superoxide (mt. O
