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

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an acquired autoimmune disease characterized by impaired transmission at the neuromuscular junction, primarily manifesting as fluctuating muscle weakness, fatigability, and partial paralysis. Due to its long disease course, treatment resistance, and frequent relapses, it places a significant burden on patients and their families. In recent years, advances in molecular biology have provided growing evidence that mitochondrial dysfunction impairs muscle function and affects immune cell proliferation and differentiation in patients. Mitochondria, as the cell's energy source, play a critical role in various pathological processes in MG, including oxidative stress, dynamic abnormalities, mitophagy, and mitochondrial metabolism. The role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of MG has garnered increasing attention. This manuscript primarily explores mitochondrial function and abnormal morphological changes in MG, as well as mitochondrial quality control, metabolic reprogramming, and their potential mechanisms in the pathological changes of the disease. It also reviews the current status of drug therapies aimed at improving mitochondrial function. The goal is to provide novel perspectives and strategies for future mitochondrial-targeted therapies in MG.
