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

Chronic microinflammation drives tissue degeneration, particularly in age-related and metabolic diseases, yet how it disrupts inter-organelle communication that leads to cellular failure remains largely unexplored. Utilizing highly myopic cataract (HMC) as a paradigm, we uncover a non-canonical defense mechanism centered on mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs). Under microinflammatory stress, mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF), conventionally recognized as an ER-resident protein, specifically localizes to MAMs in lens epithelial cells (LECs). At this critical interface, MANF acts as a metabolic sensor that safeguards calcium homeostasis by directly promoting the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca
