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

Mitochondrial alterations, including mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) loss and defects in maintenance pathways, have been recognized as an important driver for toxic effects of environmental pollutants. Therefore, exposure to nano-sized particles (1-100 nm in diameter; a new source of environmental pollution) may also result in these mitochondrial impairments; however, controversial results have been reported. Available studies collected from three electronic databases through July 2025 were pooled for a comprehensive assessment. Meta-analysis of 19 in vitro studies (69 datasets) showed exposure to nano-sized particles significantly reduced mtDNA content [standardized mean difference = -1.08;
