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

Once identified primarily as a bioenergetic organelle, the mitochondrion has now emerged as a pivotal signalling hub that communicates with the nucleus to shape cellular fate. It integrates the cell's metabolic state with transcriptional and epigenetic programs, tweaking gene expression. Mitochondrial metabolites serve as regulators of cellular physiology, functioning as important signalling intermediates and modulating enzymes involved in epigenetic modifications. In parallel, nuclear transcriptional programs govern mitochondrial biogenesis, dynamics and quality control to preserve metabolic homeostasis under stress. Moreover, circulating metabolites can function as systemic messengers coordinating interorgan crosstalk and immune responses. Perturbations in this dynamic reciprocity can rewire the cellular script and spiral into "epimetabopathies", where metabolic-epigenetic conflicts ignite pathological conditions. This review discusses how mitochondria-nucleus crosstalk coordinates genome surveillance, metabolite-driven epigenetic regulation and systemic metabolic signalling. It further offers an overview of epimetabopathies with potential implications for future diagnostics and therapeutics.
