Intermittent treatment with elamipretide preserves exercise tolerance in aged female mice.
Article in GeroScience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 pathology of aging impacts multiple organ systems, including the kidney and skeletal and cardiac muscles. Long-term treatment with the mitochondrial-targeted peptide elamipretide has previously been shown to improve in vivo mitochondrial function in aged mice, which is associated with increased fatigue resistance and treadmill performance, improved cardiovascular diastolic function, and glomerular architecture of the kidney. However, elamipretide is a short tetrameric peptide that is not orally bioavailable, limiting its routes of administration. This study tested whether twice weekly intermittent injections of elamipretide could recapitulate the same functional improvements as continuous long-term infusion. We found that intermittent treatment with elamipretide for 8 months preserved exercise tolerance and left ventricular mass in mice with modest protection of diastolic function and skeletal muscle force production but did not affect kidney function as previously reported using continuous treatment.
