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

Irisin, an exercise-induced hormone, exerts neuroprotective actions in neurological disease models, yet its effects on brain mitochondrial metabolism remain unclear. Here, we examined how irisin influences mitochondrial function and dynamics in the mouse hippocampus. Acute irisin exposure boosted ATP-coupled oxygen consumption without altering mitochondrial content or dynamics-related proteins. Furthermore, chronic irisin administration in vivo decreased hippocampal Opa1 and Drp1 levels, two key regulators of mitochondrial remodeling. These findings uncover selective actions of irisin on hippocampal mitochondrial homeostasis and identify prolonged irisin exposure as a potential regulator of mitochondrial dynamics in the brain.
