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 outer membrane (OMM) plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by regulating mitochondrial dynamics, organelle interactions, and stress responses. In peripheral neurons-cells with high metabolic demands and long axons-the OMM acts as a vital platform for coordinating bioenergetics, calcium signaling, and redox balance. Ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated protein 1 (GDAP1), an OMM-anchored protein, has emerged as a key regulator of mitochondrial fission and transport, redox homeostasis, and mitochondrial membrane contact sites (MCSs). Genetic variants in GDAP1 cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), emphasizing its essential role in peripheral nerve function. This review highlights the multifaceted functions of GDAP1 in neuronal physiology and as a model protein that integrates organelle communication and mitochondrial biology. We further discuss how GDAP1 dysfunction leads to structural and functional impairments in peripheral neurons, proposing the OMM and its microenvironment as critical targets for therapeutic intervention in inherited neuropathies.
