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

Mitochondria play a central role in energy metabolism, redox homeostasis, and signal transduction in the thyroid cells. Increasing evidence indicates that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations, copy number variations, and haplogroup-specific polymorphisms are closely associated with metabolic reprogramming and malignant progression of thyroid cancer. This review summarizes recent advances in the understanding of the impact of mitochondrial genome instability and metabolic plasticity on thyroid tumorigenesis. We discuss how mtDNA alterations disrupt oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), trigger adaptive metabolic rewiring, and interact with key oncogenic pathways, such as HIF-1α, BRAFV600E mutations, and TSHR signaling in thyroid cancer. We also highlight the emerging diagnostic and therapeutic potential of mtDNA in thyroid cancer and outline current challenges and future research directions. Gaining deeper insights into the mitochondria-metabolism axis may provide novel biomarkers and metabolic intervention strategies for precision medicine in thyroid oncology.
