Review in Zhong nan da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Central South University. Medical sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Mitochondria-lipid droplet coupling (MLC) is a key structural interface linking intracellular lipid storage with energy utilization and metabolism. The development and progression of obesity are fundamentally driven by an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. MLC plays critical roles in regulating lipid mobilization, fatty acid oxidation, and thermogenesis in adipose tissue, although its molecular mechanisms and clinical translational value remain to be fully elucidated. The functions of MLC are context dependent and may be bidirectional: in different cell types or metabolic states, interactions mediated by specific coupling protein complexes may preferentially promote either fatty acid oxidation or lipid synthesis. Studies have shown that MLC and peridroplet mitochondria (PDM) not only participate in lipid mobilization by accelerating lipid droplet breakdown and facilitating the directed transfer of fatty acids but also serve as key nodes in maintaining non-shivering thermogenesis in adipose tissue and increasing energy expenditure. Future studies should further clarify the molecular mechanisms underlying the metabolic functional specificity of MLC mediated by different protein complexes and explore its specific roles in adipose tissue. Such efforts may provide new therapeutic strategies targeting MLC for the treatment of obesity and related metabolic disorders.
