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

Mitophagy is the selective degradation program for damaged and unnecessary mitochondria to maintain cellular mitostasis and survival. Specific mutations in the mediators for the canonical ubiquitin (ub)-dependent mitophagy pathway have been identified with unique neurological diseases like Parkinson disease and ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), metabolic diseases, and cancer. Mammalian OPTN (optineurin) has been shown as a SAR (selective autophagy receptor) for ub-dependent mitophagy in vitro with direct connections of its mutations with glaucoma and ALS. Despite the in vitro demonstration of OPTN's role in mitophagy, the in vivo physiological characterization of OPTN's mitophagy function is largely unexplored. In our recent study, we provide in vivo evidence that the
