Genetic Predisposition and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Sudden Cardiac Death: Role of MCU Complex Genetic Variations.
Article in Cells, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major cause of cardiovascular mortality, with coronary artery disease-related SCD (SCD-CAD) being the most prevalent form. Genetic factors and mitochondrial dysfunction, particularly in calcium homeostasis, are critical in SCD-CAD. However, the specific genetic factors linked to mitochondrial dysfunction in SCD-CAD remain poorly understood. In this case-control study, we analyzed 229 SCD-CAD cases and 598 controls from a Southern Han Chinese population, focusing on 12 insertion-deletion (indel) variants across six mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) complex genes. We used capillary electrophoresis-based multiplex genotyping and performed logistic regression and haplotype analyses to assess the association of these variants with SCD-CAD susceptibility. Four significant indel variants and three risk-associated haplotypes were identified. Two of these indels were previously validated in the GWAS catalog as strongly linked to cardiac disorders. Additionally, Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis revealed a causal relationship between elevated levels of the
