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 eye is one of the most metabolically active organs, and mitochondria serve as the central hub for cellular energy metabolism by providing adenosine triphosphate through oxidative phosphorylation. Disruption of mitochondrial metabolism-including insufficient adenosine triphosphate synthesis, excessive production of reactive oxygen species, and dysregulated quality control-can trigger various ocular diseases. Common blinding diseases such as myopia, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma are closely associated with mitochondrial dysfunction in specific cell types. This review delineates the mechanisms by which metabolic adaptations in scleral fibroblasts induce myopia and the synergistic action of lipofuscin, the high-glucose-triggered mitochondrial reactive oxygen species bursts and metabolic memory in diabetic retinopathy, and the roles of mitochondrial dynamics imbalance and energy exhaustion in trabecular meshwork cells in glaucoma. Based on these mechanisms, the article proposes intervention strategies targeting mitochondrial antioxidant defense, enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis, regulating mitochondrial dynamics, and restoring mitophagy, aiming for precise prevention and treatment of ocular diseases at the mitochondrial level.
