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

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) represent a spectrum of chronic gastrointestinal disorders fueled by a complex multifactorial interplay, where mitochondrial dysfunction has emerged as a critical contributor. The SLC25 family of mitochondrial transporters mediates the exchange of essential metabolites across the mitochondrial inner membrane, serving as pivotal regulators of cellular energy homeostasis in both the intestinal epithelium and immune cells. Accumulating evidence indicates that dysregulation of SLC25-dependent metabolic transport disrupts the crosstalk between cellular metabolism and immune signaling, driving chronic intestinal inflammation. This review comprehensively examines the pathological roles of SLC25 proteins across three interconnected dimensions: epithelial barrier disruption, immune dysregulation, and host-microbiota metabolic crosstalk. Specifically, we synthesize current findings on how altered SLC25 function compromises the intestinal barrier via oxidative stress and energy deficits, skews immune cell polarization toward pro-inflammatory states, and perpetuates a vicious cycle of microbial dysbiosis. Ultimately, this review provides a comprehensive theoretical basis for the central role of SLC25-mediated metabolic reprogramming in IBD pathogenesis, and establishes a critical mechanistic foundation for the development of novel metabolism-targeted therapeutics and diagnostic biomarkers.
