Article in Cell death discovery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
mytho (Macroautophagy and YouTH Optimizer) is a novel FoxO-dependent gene that has been recently identified to control health- and life-span in Caenorhabditis elegans via autophagy regulation. However, the role of this gene in tissues development and function in vertebrates has not yet been established. To address these issues, we generated a zebrafish mytho KO model and observed that mutants exhibited a higher mortality rate than wild-type (WT) siblings during the first month of life and a lower resistance to oxidative stress. mytho silencing resulted in a decrease in larval locomotor activity and muscle birefringence and caused alteration of adult muscle structure. Autophagy impairment was confirmed in tissues with the highest mytho expression such as brain, muscle and testis. Finally, mutants showed tissue degeneration in pancreas, retina and muscle, morphological alterations in gonads of both sexes and a reduction of reproductive capabilities of males. Importantly, males presented a higher incidence of seminomas, a testicular cancer. The increased susceptibility to cancer is associated with an enhanced DNA fragmentation in sperm cells. In conclusion, this study highlights the key role of Mytho in maintaining proper tissue function and DNA integrity.
