Mitochondria Transfer in Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Unraveling the Mechanism and Therapeutic Potential.
Review in Current stem cell research & therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold transformative potential in translational medicine due to their versatile differentiation abilities and regenerative properties. Notably, MSCs can transfer mitochondria to unrelated cells through intercellular mitochondrial transfer, offering a groundbreaking approach to halting the progression of mitochondrial diseases and restoring function to cells compromised by mitochondrial dysfunction. Although MSC mitochondrial transfer has demonstrated significant therapeutic promise across a range of diseases, its application in clinical settings remains largely unexplored. This review delves into the novel mechanisms by which MSCs execute mitochondrial transfer, highlighting its profound impact on cellular metabolism, immune modulation, and tissue regeneration. We provide an in-depth analysis of the therapeutic potential of MSC mitochondrial transfer, particularly in treating mitochondrial dysfunction-related diseases and advancing tissue repair strategies. Additionally, we propose innovative considerations for optimizing MSC mitochondrial transfer in clinical trials, emphasizing its potential to reshape the landscape of regenerative medicine and therapeutic interventions.
