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

As bioactive microproteins, mitochondrial-derived microproteins (MDPs) are encoded within the small open reading frames of mitochondrial DNA. MDPs have been shown to be altered in a number of disease states and have mitochondrial, nuclear, and extracellular actions. Most published work on MDPs has focused on MOTS-c and Humanin's actions in tissues with high mitochondrial density (heart, skeletal muscle, and brain) or in disease states of advanced age-Alzheimer's, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. This review aims to highlight the existing gaps in knowledge related to MDPs' role in lung homeostasis and disease-including acute lung injury, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, allergic asthma, and pulmonary fibrosis. The increasingly recognized role of MDPs in nonpulmonary diseases sheds light on the importance of more investigations of MDPs, their clinical and mechanistic roles, and their therapeutic potential for pulmonary diseases.
