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

Hypertensive cardiac hypertrophy (HCH) is a compensatory response to chronic pressure overload, ultimately progressing to heart failure if left unmanaged. Emerging evidence highlights the critical role of mitochondrial dysfunction in HCH pathogenesis, with impaired mitophagy-a selective autophagic process that removes damaged mitochondria-contributing to cardiomyocyte death, oxidative stress, and fibrosis. Protective mitophagy eliminates damaged mitochondria, averting reactive oxygen species (ROS)/calcium overload in HCH. Conversely, its dysregulation-either insufficient clearance or excessive removal-exacerbates mitochondrial dysfunction, driving pathological hypertrophy, fibrosis, and bioenergetic crisis. This dual nature presents a therapeutic paradox demanding contextual modulation. This review comprehensively examines the molecular mechanisms underlying mitophagy dysregulation in HCH, focusing on key pathways such as PINK1/Parkin, BNIP3/NIX, and FUNDC1. We also discuss the interplay between mitophagy and other cellular processes, including mitochondrial biogenesis, inflammasome activation, and metabolic remodeling. Furthermore, we explore potential therapeutic strategies targeting mitophagy to ameliorate HCH, including pharmacological agents, lifestyle interventions, and gene therapy approaches. Understanding the dual role of mitophagy in HCH-both protective and detrimental-may pave the way for novel precision medicine strategies in cardiovascular disease.
