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 disorders are a heterogeneous group of inherited metabolic diseases resulting from dysfunctions in oxidative phosphorylation. These conditions predominantly affect high-energy-demand organs such as the brain, heart, liver, and muscles, leading to diverse clinical manifestations and diagnostic challenges. This article presents the first comprehensive Iranian guideline for the diagnosis and management of mitochondrial diseases, developed through an evidence-based and consensus-driven methodology. We conducted a structured literature review across major biomedical databases from 2000 to 2023 and engaged a multidisciplinary panel of Iranian experts to establish context-specific recommendations. The guideline covers clinical presentations, laboratory biomarkers, neuroimaging features, genetic diagnostics, and treatment approaches including "cocktail therapy" and acute management protocols. It also integrates a mitochondrial disease scoring system to standardize diagnosis and provides detailed insights into safe anesthesia practices for affected individuals. Special attention is given to practical implementation in resource-limited settings. These guidelines aim to enhance diagnostic accuracy, optimize management strategies, and improve the quality of life for patients with mitochondrial disorders across Iran and similar healthcare systems.
