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

As a physicochemical mechanism, phase separation is a spatial and temporal regulator of specific molecules within a cell, and it provides a new perspective for understanding cellular pathophysiology. Phase separation is closely associated with multiple metabolic processes in the body, including the regulation of key metabolic enzymes and the physiology of mitochondria. Mitochondria also regulate multiple physiological functions through phase separation, including protecting healthy mitochondria and mRNAs in oocytes and regulating crosstalk between nuclear and mitochondrial. Importantly, abnormal phase separation in vivo is associated with the development of diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, endocrine disorders, skeletal system diseases, and infectious diseases. This review summarizes the relationship between phase separation and metabolism under both physiological and pathological conditions, as well as the therapeutic potential of phase separation in the treatment of relevant diseases, aiming to explore the possibility of treating diseases by regulating phase separation.
