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 are essential for brain function, and accumulating evidence from postmortem brain studies, neuroimaging, and basic research indicates mitochondrial impairments in patients with psychiatric disorders. Restoring mitochondrial function therefore represents a promising therapeutic strategy for these conditions. Mitochondrial transplantation, an innovative approach that uses functional mitochondria to repair damaged cells, has demonstrated efficacy through various delivery methods in cell, animal, and animal disease models. This review explores the critical link between mitochondria and psychiatric disorders and provides an overview of mitochondrial transplantation as a therapeutic intervention. It highlights recent advances in mitochondrial transplantation in animal models of psychiatric disorders, focusing on delivery methods, the timing of administration, and the integration of exogenous mitochondria into brain cells. The potential therapeutic effects and the mechanisms that underlie these effects are discussed. Additionally, this review evaluates the clinical relevance, challenges, and future strategies for the application of mitochondrial transplantation in the treatment of psychiatric disorders.
