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

Mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs), including humanin, MOTS-c, and small humanin-like peptides (SHLPs), have emerged as promising therapeutic candidates for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and Huntington's disease (HD). This review systematically evaluates current literature retrieved from databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science using keywords such as "mitochondrial-derived peptides," "neurodegeneration," "humanin," "MOTS-c," and "SHLPs." Studies were included based on their relevance to mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, neuroprotection, and anti-inflammatory mechanisms in AD, PD, and HD models. Despite growing interest, current research remains limited in understanding the precise molecular pathways. Our review highlights their role in mitigating disease-specific pathologies such as Amyloid-beta (Aβ) toxicity in AD, dopaminergic neuron loss in PD, and mutant huntingtin aggregation in HD while also emphasizing their potential to attenuate oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. By identifying critical knowledge gaps, particularly in the areas of molecular mechanisms of MDPs in neuroprotection, targeted delivery, and clinical translation, this review provides a comprehensive framework to guide future investigations.
