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

In recent years, the focus on human inflammation in research has increased, with aging-related inflammation widely recognized as a defining characteristic of aging. Inflammation is strongly correlated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Phosphoglycerate mutase family member 5 (PGAM5) is a novel modulator of mitochondrial homeostasis in response to mechanical stimulation. Here we review the structure and sublocalization of PGAM5, introduce its importance in programmed cell death and summarize its crucial roles in the development and progression of inflammatory diseases such as pneumonia, hepatitis, neuroinflammation and aging. Notably, PGAM5 has dual effects on controlling inflammation: distinct PGAM5-mediated mitochondrial functions exhibit cellular heterogeneity, leading to its dual functions in inflammation control. We therefore highlight the double-edged sword nature of PGAM5 as a potential critical regulator and innovative therapeutic target in inflammation. Finally, the challenges and future directions of the use of PGAM5, which has dual properties, as a target molecule in the clinic are discussed. This review provides crucial insights to guide the development of intelligent therapeutic strategies targeting PGAM5-specific regulation to treat intractable inflammatory conditions, as well as the potential extension of its broader application to other diseases to achieve more precise and effective treatment outcomes.
