The role of the mitochondrial trans-sulfuration in cerebro-cardio renal dysfunction during trisomy down syndrome.
Review in Molecular and cellular biochemistry, 2024. 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
One in 700 children is born with the down syndrome (DS). In DS, there is an extra copy of X chromosome 21 (trisomy). Interestingly, the chromosome 21 also contains an extra copy of the cystathionine beta synthase (CBS) gene. The CBS activity is known to contribute in mitochondrial sulfur metabolism via trans-sulfuration pathway. We hypothesize that due to an extra copy of the CBS gene there is hyper trans-sulfuration in DS. We believe that understanding the mechanism of hyper trans-sulfuration during DS will be important in improving the quality of DS patients and towards developing new treatment strategies. We know that folic acid "1-carbon" metabolism (FOCM) cycle transfers the "1-carbon" methyl group to DNA (H3K4) via conversion of s-adenosyl methionine (SAM) to s-adenosyl homocysteine (SAH) by DNMTs (the gene writers). The demethylation reaction is carried out by ten-eleven translocation methylcytosine dioxygenases (TETs; the gene erasers) through epigenetics thus turning the genes off/on and opening the chromatin by altering the acetylation/HDAC ratio. The S-adenosyl homocysteine hydrolase (SAHH) hydrolyzes SAH to homocysteine (Hcy) and adenosine. The Hcy is converted to cystathionine, cysteine and hydrogen sulfide (H
