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 mitochondria (mt) and nucleus engage in a dynamic bidirectional communication to maintain cellular homeostasis, regulating energy production, stress response, and cell fate. Anterograde signaling directs mt function, while retrograde signaling conveys metabolic and stress-related changes from mt to the nucleus. Central to this crosstalk is mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which encodes key oxidative phosphorylation components. MtDNA integrity is preserved through quality control mechanisms, including fusion and fission dynamics, mitophagy, and nuclear-encoded DNA repair. Disruption in these pathways contributes to mt dysfunction, oxidative stress, and genetic instability-hallmarks of aging and diseases. Additionally, redox signaling and NAD+ homeostasis integrate mt and nuclear responses, modulating transcriptional programs that support mt biogenesis and stress adaptation. This review explores the molecular mechanisms coordinating mito-nuclear interactions, emphasizing their role in maintaining mtDNA integrity and cellular equilibrium. Understanding these processes provides insights into how mt dysfunction drives aging and disease, paving the way for targeted therapeutic strategies.
