Mitonuclear discordance modulates mitochondrial ageing dynamics in natural

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
Mitochondrial decline is a hallmark of ageing, yet the role of intergenomic compatibility in shaping ageing trajectories remains poorly understood, particularly in an ecologically relevant framework. Hormetic interventions have been proposed as strategies to modulate metabolism and lifespan, but it is unknown how this operates in the context of mitonuclear discordance. Here, we demonstrate that mitonuclear mismatch accelerates age-related mitochondrial decline, elevates reactive oxygen species production, and shortens lifespan. Strikingly, early-life mitochondrial stress induced by dietary modulation counteracts these effects, promoting mitochondrial homeostasis and longevity. Our findings reveal mitonuclear interactions shaping ageing trajectories in natural populations and provide unique evidence that targeted interventions can act as a buffer against the detrimental impact of genetic discordance.
