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
backgroundParkinson's disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder and one of the world's fastest-growing neurological diseases. Although the exact causes of PD are unknown, mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation may have significant roles in disease progression. As well as being prevalent in the brain, there is also evidence that peripheral mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation occur in PD. However, if/how peripheral mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation are linked is still unclear.
objectivesThis study aimed to determine the extent that mitochondrial dysfunction in peripheral immune cells is associated with inflammation in PD.
methodsThe study comprised of 35 controls and 35 PD patients that were age and sex matched. Flow cytometry was used to assess mitochondrial content and superoxide production in mononuclear cells, in the presence and absence of the mitochondrial stressor antimycin A. Serum inflammatory cytokines were measured by ELISA.
resultsSuperoxide levels were significantly increased in PD patient mononuclear cells at baseline, and PD mononuclear cells had an impaired response to antimycin A. Immune cell superoxide levels correlated with serum cytokines associated with T-cell responses, namely interleukin (IL) IL-12, interferon-γ, and IL-17A.
conclusionsResults show that mitochondrial dysfunction is prevalent in PD immune cells and may contribute to an inflammatory phenotype. © 2025 The Author(s). Movement Disorders published by Wiley Periodicals LLC on behalf of International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
