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

The liver is a vital metabolic organ that detoxifies substances, produces bile, stores nutrients, and regulates versatile metabolic processes. Maintaining normal liver cell function requires the prompt and delicate modulation of mitochondrial quality control (MQC), which encompasses a spectrum of processes such as mitochondrial fission, fusion, biogenesis, and mitophagy. Recent studies have shown that disruptions to this homeostatic status are closely linked to the advent and progression of a variety of acute and chronic liver diseases, including but not limited to alcohol-associated liver disease and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease. However, the explicit mechanisms by which mitochondrial dysfunction impacts inflammatory pathways and cell death in the context of liver diseases remain unclear. In this narrative review, we provide a detailed description of MQC, analyze the mechanisms underpinning mitochondrial dysfunction induced by different detrimental insults, and further elucidate how imbalanced/disrupted MQC promotes the progression and aggravation of liver diseases, ultimately shedding light on the mitochondrion-centric therapeutic strategies for these pathophysiological entities.
