ReviewSeveralEvidence tier R

What this study reported

Reviewed the biological effects of mitochondrial-derived peptides including MOTS-c, β-amyloid accumulation in mitochondria, and mitochondria-targeting peptides as delivery vehicles.

Limitations

Broad review in which MOTS-c is one of several topics; the abstract gives no MOTS-c-specific findings.

Appraisal

Each dimension is recorded separately and never combined into a single score. A study can be well controlled and still tell you little about people.
