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

Musculoskeletal health is directly linked to independence and longevity, but disease and aging impairs muscle mass and health. Complete repair after a pathological or physiological muscle injury is critical for maintaining muscle function, yet muscle repair is compromised after disuse, or in conditions such as metabolic diseases, cancer, and aging. Regeneration of damaged tissue is critically dependent upon achieving the optimal function of satellite cells (muscle stem cells, MSCs). MSC remodeling in muscle repair is highly dependent upon its microenvironment, and metabolic health of MSCs, which is dependent on the functional capacity of their mitochondria. Muscle repair is energy demanding and mitochondria provide the primary source for energy production during regeneration. However, disease and aging induce mitochondrial dysfunction, which limits energy production during muscle regeneration. Nevertheless, the role of mitochondria in muscle repair likely extends beyond the production of ATP and mitochondria could provide potentially important regulatory signaling to MSCs during repair from injury. The scope of current research in muscle regeneration extends from molecules to exosomes, largely with the goal of understanding ways to improve MSC function. This review focuses on the role of mitochondria in skeletal muscle myogenesis/regeneration and repair. A therapeutic strategy for improving muscle mitochondrial number and health will be discussed as a means for enhancing muscle regeneration. Highlights: (a). Mitochondrial dysfunction limits muscle regeneration; (b). Muscle stem cell (MSC) function can be modulated by mitochondria; (c). Enhancing mitochondria in MSCs may provide a strategy for improving muscle regeneration after an injury.
