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

Defects of the mitochondrial genome are widely recognized as important causes of disease in man. Patients may present at any age with clinical symptoms that vary from acute episodes of lactic acidosis in infancy to severe neurodegenerative illness in adulthood. While modern molecular genetic techniques have facilitated major advances in the diagnosis and characterization of specific molecular defects, treatment for the majority of patients remains supportive in the absence of definitive biochemical therapies. As a consequence, the possibilities for mitochondrial DNA gene therapy must be considered. In this review, we will evaluate the current biochemical strategies available to clinicians for the management of patients with mitochondrial disease and examine the possible approaches to the gene therapy of mitochondrial DNA defects.
