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, the process of removing mitochondria through the autophagy-lysosome pathway, is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis. However, its regulatory mechanisms and pathological implications remain poorly understood. In our study, we revealed that decidual protein induced by progesterone (DEPP) plays a significant role in mitophagy through the DEPP-HIF-1α-BNIP3/NIX axis. Our findings indicate that interaction between DEPP and hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) enhances HIF-1α stability, thereby promoting the transcription of HIF-1 target genes. The enhanced protein stability of HIF-1α not only activates mitophagy by stimulating the transcription of BCL2-interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) and BCL2-interacting protein 3-like (BNIP3L; also known as NIX) mRNA but also influences cellular metabolic reprogramming by promoting the transcription of glycolysis-related genes. In conclusion, our findings suggest that DEPP may act as a potential regulator of mitophagy and HIF-1α, playing an important role in maintaining cellular metabolic and energy homeostasis.
