Deleterious mitochondrial heteroplasmies exhibit increased longitudinal change in variant allele fraction.
Article in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
A common feature of human aging is the acquisition of somatic mutations, and mitochondria are particularly prone to mutation, leading to a state of mitochondrial DNA heteroplasmy. Cross-sectional studies have demonstrated that detection of heteroplasmy increases with participant age, a phenomenon that has been attributed to genetic drift. In this large-scale longitudinal study, we measured heteroplasmy in two prospective cohorts (combined
