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

Mitochondria contain their own small, circular genome that is present in high copy number. The mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) encodes essential subunits of the electron transport chain. Mutations in the mitochondrial genome are associated with a wide range of mitochondrial diseases and the maintenance and replication of mtDNA is crucial to cellular health. Despite the importance of maintaining mtDNA genomic integrity, fewer DNA repair pathways exist in the mitochondria than in the nucleus. However, mitochondria have numerous pathways that allow for the removal and degradation of DNA damage that may prevent accumulation of mutations. Here, we briefly review the DNA repair pathways present in the mitochondria, sources of mtDNA mutations, and discuss the passive role that mtDNA mutagenesis may play in cancer progression.
