Epigenetic-Mitochondrial-Metabolic Crosstalk in Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) Dysfunction in Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).
Review in Antioxidants (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss in older adults and is characterized by progressive dysfunction of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Although genetic susceptibility and environmental exposure both contribute to disease risk, the mechanisms through which chronic metabolic and oxidative stress are integrated into sustained RPE dysfunction remain incompletely understood. Increasing evidence from human AMD donor tissue and experimental RPE models indicates that epigenetic regulation operates at the interface between mitochondrial dysfunction, redox imbalance, and transcriptional remodeling. This review synthesizes current findings on DNA methylation, chromatin accessibility, histone modification, and RNA-based regulation in AMD, with emphasis on their metabolic and mitochondrial context. Studies in human AMD-RPE demonstrate that epigenetic alterations are generally selective rather than global and frequently involve pathways related to mitochondrial maintenance, lipid metabolism, oxidative stress responses, and cellular homeostasis. Mechanistically, mitochondrial dysfunction and reactive oxygen species (ROS) may influence epigenetic regulation through altered Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD
