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

Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis, contributing to increased oxidative stress and impaired endo-lysosomal-proteasome system efficiency underlying neuronal injury. Genetic studies have identified 19 monogenic mutations-accounting for ~10% of PD cases-that affect mitochondrial function and are associated with early- or late-onset PD. Early-onset forms typically involve genes encoding proteins essential for mitochondrial quality control, including mitophagy and structural maintenance, while late-onset mutations impair mitochondrial dynamics, bioenergetics, and trafficking. Atypical juvenile genetic syndromes also exhibit mitochondrial abnormalities. In idiopathic PD, environmental neurotoxins such as pesticides and MPTP act as mitochondrial inhibitors, disrupting complex I activity and increasing reactive oxygen species. These converging pathways underscore mitochondria as a central node in PD pathology. This review explores the overlapping and distinct mitochondrial mechanisms in genetic and non-genetic PD, emphasizing their role in neuronal vulnerability. Targeting mitochondrial dysfunction finally offers a promising therapeutic avenue to slow or modify disease progression by intervening at a key point of neurodegenerative convergence.
