What kind of studies

Of 263 papers in PubMed that mention MOTS-c in the title or abstract, by the study type PubMed records. Categories overlap, so they do not add up to the total.

  • Randomized controlled trials4
  • Other clinical trials1
  • Meta-analyses and systematic reviews1
  • Other reviews59
  • Case reports0
  • Animal studies only53
  • Studies in humans153

Study types are tags assigned by publishers and PubMed indexers; very new papers are often not tagged yet, and a tag is not a quality rating. Retracted papers are excluded. Source: PubMed (NCBI).

Registered clinical studies

Studies on ClinicalTrials.gov that mention MOTS-c in their intervention details. A registration says a study is planned or running, not what it found.
