Mitigating the pro-oxidant state and melanogenesis of Retinitis pigmentosa: by counteracting mitochondrial dysfunction.
Review in Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of mitochondrial diseases characterized by progressive degeneration of rods and cones leading to retinal loss of light sensitivity and, consequently, to blindness. To date, no cure is available according to the clinical literature. As a disease associated with pigmentation-related, pro-oxidant state, and mitochondrial dysfunction, RP may be viewed at the crossroads of different pathogenetic pathways involved in adverse health outcomes, where mitochondria play a preeminent role. RP has been investigated in a number of experimental and clinical studies aimed at delaying retinal hyperpigmentation by means of a number of natural and synthetic antioxidants, as well as mitochondrial cofactors, also termed mitochondrial nutrients (MNs), such as alpha-lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10 and carnitine. One should consider that each MN plays distinct-and indispensable-roles in mitochondrial function. Thus, a logical choice would imply the administration of MN combinations, instead of individual MNs, as performed in previous studies, and with limited, if any, positive outcomes. A rational study design aimed at comparing the protective effects of MNs, separately or in combinations, and in association with other antioxidants, might foresee the utilization of animal RP models. The results should verify a comparative optimization in preventing or effectively contrasting retinal oxidative stress in mouse RP models and, in prospect, in human RP cases.
