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 mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel-1 (VDAC1) protein plays a central role in regulating mitochondrial metabolism, energy production, and apoptosis. VDAC1 interacts with over 100 proteins across the cytosol, endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane, and mitochondrial membranes. These interactions coordinate metabolism, cell death, and signal transduction, integrating mitochondrial and cellular functions. To identify VDAC1 binding sites, we designed a peptide array of 768 peptides from 19 selected VDAC1-interacting proteins. We focused on three partners: GAPDH, gelsolin, and actin. Their VDAC1-binding sequences as peptides interacted with purified VDAC1 and, as cell-penetrating peptides, induced cell death, and elevated intracellular Ca
